Côtes du Rhône Red Blend

Very light ruby in appearance. Just a bit darker than a Pinot Noir but still virtually translucent. Balanced acidity. Rock and pepper on the side of the tongue, sharp red fruit, soft tannin finish. My preference for CDR is for it to dial it up to 11 on the spice/tannin and ditch the fruit, but I recognize the complexity, nuance, and variety of flavor here.

An old friend that I have been happily reacquainted with.

Well priced every day wine that goes well with a lot of food

Red cherry flavor dominates the palate. Smooth tannins and food friendly

We had 2018 . Very light. Lovely afternoon wine . Me likes

Nice tannin, spice but not extreme. Went well with lamb. Opened 1 he before; opened more on day 2 and 3.

Excellent. First had at Lauren’s wedding.
