Grenache
Red fruit and roundness in many blends.
It is prominent in the southern Rhône and Spain, where it is called Garnacha.
What to notice
Compare a varietal Grenache with a blend: its generous fruit can be balanced by more structured grapes.

Rhône Valley — Syrah leads in the north; Grenache often plays a major role farther south.
