Côtes du Rhône Villages White Rhone Blend

Bubble gum flavors are hiding within the bottle in a dry, yet sweetly rewarding way

I confess a bias against Rhone white blends: why spoil Viogner with lesser varietals? But setting that aside for a moment, this wine is leaning a bit acidic for a Rhone white. Otherwise it’s reasonably well balanced, easy to drink, and about what you’d expect for $16.

Appealingly rustic—waxy glycerin, orange blossom, honey, melon, mild acidity, medium finish. Very nice.
