From the producer of the excellent Châteauneuf-du-Pape, this Côtes-du-Rhône Villages has notable depth of flavor and excellent balance of smooth tannins, medium acidity and complexity of fruit. Strawberry, blackberry, black cherry, leather, garrigue (wild thyme and lavender) and a subtle meaty note. It’s like a restrained CdP. 70% Grenache, 20% Cinsault, 10% Syrah. For about $20 it’s a good value — 2 months ago

Excelente rioja well balance not as much body as expected but nice drink overall would pair well with a fish dish with a richer sauce or some game — 4 months ago

I drank the 2022 by the glass with monkfish on black rice and fennel. It was very good. Stone fruit, peach, tiny bit of spice on long finish. — a month ago
