The flavor profile is very much like a Ruby Port. On the nose it seems like high alcohol. The tannins are smooth and silky. #cotesdurhone

Jan 16th, 2022Great value from a wine from a well regarded Chateauneuf du Pape producer. Black cherry, Plum, white pepper. Plush mouthfeel with nice structure and balance.

May 16th, 2015Leathery nose, but quite fruity. Silky smooth with delightfully light tannins. Long, smooth finish with ripe fruits and very juicy. Cedar box, smoke, herbal, tones of licorice are all classic Rhone blend flavors. This one seems more vibrant and juicy. $16 from Village Corner.

Oct 7th, 2018Interesting little Côte du Rhône. The scent is not necessarily agreeable, even if highly original. First taste was very unique and different than the nose, not fruity, a little spicy and a whole lot of body. Continued to open up and smooth out. I like it because it’s unique!
