From Dave Phinney's Department 66 project in Maury, in the foothills of the French Pyrenees. Painted Scars is a bold blend of old-vine Grenache and Syrah from vineyards planted over 60 years ago in the black schist soils of the Roussillon. Deep and concentrated, the wine delivers dark fruit, currants, and licorice with layers of smoky leather and earthy spice. Despite its power and intensity, it remains impeccably balanced — a full-throttle, hedonistic red that captures the rugged spirit of the Côtes Catalanes.
