Domaine Matassa
Brutal Rouge 2022
From its name, no one expects this blend of Syrah and Muscat a Petit Grains to be so light and juicy—heck, it’s only 10.5% ABV! Domaine Matassa takes us on a wild ride filled with chocolate-covered strawberries and detours to the tropics, paved on a road of silky tannins and great acidity. There’s a good reason it’s sold out in so many stores!
