Background
This semi-dry red wine is blended from grapes grown on the rugged hillsides around the Mediterranean city of Narbonne and has been fashioned by one of the most talented producers of that area to be a perfect red for a vast majority of winedrinkers. Although the wine is listed as "semi-dry" the finish of the wine  is packed full of sweet fruit making it an easy wine to bring out for most anyone.

Val D'Orbieu uses state-of-the-art facilities to produce mostly Vin de Pay and is growing in popularity here in the U.S. by leaps and bounds. This area of France produces great drinking wines at bargain prices. Most of them are identified by the grape they're made from much the same as we describe domestic wines.

Food Parings
This is a fun wine which can be served alone or with casual "comfort" foods. It would do nicely next to simple beef dishes, poultry or pork. Its versatility is one of its greatest characteristics and you could easily enjoy it with take home chinese (Moo Shoo Pork for sure!).
