Raso del Cruz Tinto 2010, Cariñena, Spain

This little gem from M&S offers up lush, fragrant raspberry coulis from its syrah fruit as well as some curranty and prune notes and a touch of milk chocolate. With the savoury, slightly meaty garnacha and sweeter, violet-tinged syrah in lovely balance it is quite a simple but elegant drop, particularly when chilled down a little. Pleasingly crunchy, fresh tannins and bright acidity complete a bargain bottle at £6.99. Lovely
