"S" for Septentrional and "M" for Méridional!

The only Vignon's cuvée that brings together Northern Rhône and Southern Rhône Valley. And for more complexity, the SM cuvée is a blend of several vintages. 

Syrah from the Northern Rhône Valley
Grenache from the Southern Rhône Valley

92/100 - JAMES SUCLKING
"So much cassis and blue fruits on the nose with hints of blos-soms and wafers. It’s full-bodied with plush tannins. Rich with dark chocolate and dark berries on the palate. Focused peppery finish. Drink or hold."
