Vintage 2014 / minerals in smell, beautiful warm palate with high acidity. Nice wine indeed

Smells of a recently dried river bed, damp vegetation, and stone.

Deep berry, dark grits, fresh pepper corn. Gripping tannin, only letting go long enough to showcase the refreshing tingly acids.
A good and full mouthfeel.
Open 3 hours, as a Rhône should.
Stocking up on the incredible 15-16 vintages!

highly aromatic; ripe fruit and cherry cola aromas transformed into savory bacon and olive after sitting for 30 minutes. Balanced astringency and good mouthfeel

3.2. Tasty 2016 red from Cotes du Rhône, dark purple, smooth, but we slightly preferred the Premier Cotes. On sale for $16.99, regularly $19.99.

Great value southern Rhone. Earthy, a bit spicy, black fruit. Great weekday wine.
