Shop review: "50% Grenache, 30% Carignan, and 20% Syrah.  The relation between the Grenache and the terroir of Roc des Anges gives fruity and fleshy grapes.  To balance this generosity, they are blended with old Carignan (60-80 years old) and Syrah giving firm structure and dark colour and resulting in a tender and fruity wine sustained by a real texture of tannins.  Four S's: soft, smooth, silky, and smoky!  Lively and fresh in the mouth, gentle flavours of red grape and berry, dried spices and roasted herbs.  From the rock of the angels springs the blood (Segna) of the heart (Cor)." -Vintage Cellar, 2014
My review: Le Roc des Anges Segna de Cor displayed a beautiful dark hue in the glass.  The nose held a beautiful medley of oak intermingled with savory cherries and blackberries.  Raspberries were detected on the tongue with soft tannins and a smooth, soft finish.  I enjoyed this wine very much.
Food: I did not pair this wine with food.
