Named for the banks of the 400 year-old canal that connects the Mediterranean Sea with the Atlantic; once a premier shipping lane, now a route for sightseeing barges, Les Deux Rives Corbieres has often had the backhanded distinction of being referred to as an "everyday" red. Hmm... lush cassis aroma and soft, baked fruit flavors, maybe it's a make-everyday-special red.
