Merlot 50% · Syrah 30% · Grenache 20% Circus Rouge is a wine for the night. This elegant evening wine, with its deep garnet hue, evokes the intimate ambiance of candle-lit tables and the soft murmur of a Parisian jazz club. Merlot brings velvet softness, Syrah adds a touch of spice and mystery, while Grenache rounds the blend with warmth and generosity. A year in oak polishes the edges, layering dark cherry, plum, and blackcurrant with whispers of pepper, cocoa, and toasted almond. The tannins are smooth, almost caressing, and the finish lingers like a last note of saxophone in the air. As arresting and suspenseful as a trapeze act, Circus Rouge holds you in the moment. It's as subtle and sultry as a blue-note jazz club, where the air hangs thick with smoke and music, and as satisfying as a perfectly seared steak at a candle-lit table.
