Côtes du Rhône Villages, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
Raspberries in the nose,
This started as a softer version of what it is becoming, candied fruits now turn to raspberries and cream, pomegranate seed and all, hints of mint medley. A long and hefty, very well made wine. A top producer in the Rhône valley. Finishes with a little jolly rancher acidity.

Nose : crushed lilac and pepper
Medium bodied, with soft berry - Blueberry juice white pepper, simple and easy. High acid with this one, so it needs to tame for a few more years.
Keep tasting friends!

Fully tuned up and ready to drink with all the food you can throw at it. Villages quality stability with dried raspberries, red plums, and red ruby grapefruit up front from the Grenache, but a spicy black pepper and gaminess from the Syrah keeps the back end savory. Finishes herbal with notes of Garrigue found in the Mediterranean soils of the Southern Rhône. Acid is dialed in nicely, and you get more grape tannins rather than wood tannins. Noticeable cinnamon, clove, and saddle from neutral oak treatment. In no way does it get in the way of the fruit. Thanks for letting me think out loud, #delectable

Beautiful lazy Saturday night red wine. Value is really good for Cotes du Rhone village. Very good bridge to more full and expressive southern rhone wines
