The blend of equal parts Syrah and Grenache and more of a southern than northern Rhone is the La Cibois from the Coteaux du Tricastin (a region better known for its black truffles). It displays good sweet kirsch notes, plenty of spice, herbs, and earth. It is Provencal in contrast to the other northern Rhones. Importer: Terlato Wines International, Lake Bluff, IL; tel.
