While our Petit Frere might lack the complexity and elegance of our Grenache bottling, it is a much fuller-bodied wine than your typical Cotes du Rhone. It has plenty of ripe, jammy fruit from the Grenache with smoky, meaty flavors coming from Mourvedre and Syrah. Think of this wine as a Dry Creek’s version of a Cotes du Rhone that has been on an aggressive weight lifting program.
