The name for this brand is a double entendre, the sun (or French Sol) evoking the idea that these are fabulous cocktail wines for picnics and outdoor events. However, the Soul part is that are actually made with great intention, from certified organically grown grapes and winemaking practices that avoid any additives or chemicals. The result is two fantastic values that you should make staples for this holiday season.

Souleil Rouge is a pretty classic blend from the Minervois region of the Languedoc. It is a blend of almost equal parts of Grenache and Syrah, fermented and aged only in stainless steel tanks. Like the Rose the grapes are farmed using certified organic practices and bottled with minimal sulfur. Give this one a splash in the decanter and after a few minutes the nose is a rich blend of cooked blackberries, blueberries, dried black figs, graphite and orange pekoe tea. There is a soft, rich core of fruit and a surprising note of freshness on the finish. Drink with charcuterie, hamburgers or teriyaki chicken wings.
