Cuvée les Figues Côtes du Rhône Syrah Blend

Young and fresh.

Vanilla cake topped with a berry compote, that’s what this nose has to tell.

Soft candied fruitcake fruits, yet only a hint. This quickly turns into Pom and cherry, no sugar added type of juice, with just enough barrel aging to temper these fresh fruits. Some of that lovely popsicle stick tannic /acidity blend to bring up the back end. A lovely wine, if you give it some air time. A couple of hours in, and it is drinking perfect.

Juicy berries and flowers. A touch on the sweet side with good acid.

Strawberries, cherries, and cream. Summer wine!

Very light and fruity on the first taste with a little bit of a bite to round it out.

Strawberry and cherry on the nose. Light, fruity, medium plus acid, balanced tannins.

A generous wine, big and yet structured with lots of great aromatics.

Real good, bright fruit. Raspberries. Pairs well with spicy nacho doritos.

Four Columns Inn, Newfane, VT New Year’s Eve with my love.

Not a great Rhone. Better ones out there for a dollar or two more. Get something else.
