Les Vins de Vienne (Cuilleron Gaillard Villard)
Les Cranilles Côtes du Rhône Red Rhone Blend
Côtes du Rhône, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
What a charmer. Solid and fruity. So slurpable. Still on the fresh side being under screwcap. It's a cheerful thing, releasing its forest fruits and earth with ease.

Interesting Rhone blend. Syrah/Grenache and full of peppery notes, mainly black pepper. Spicy during the finish.

Apr 20th, 2016Deep ruby with bags of spicy dark berry fruit on the nose. Dry, attractive tannins with black pepper, cooked blackberries even a touch of beetroot! Long finish.
Dynamic wine made by a dynamic trio of Rhône winemakers.

The description: Packed with red and black Fruits (blackcurrant, raspberry, sour cherry), bright and lively in the mouth with a nice minerality coming through the long, fresh finish.
The opinion: Description accurate. Would I buy again “Yes”. Lighter side of what I typically buy but still very pleasant.

Very pleasant basic CdR. Good fruit, nice weight, peppery and spicy notes, some residual sugar, but overall nicely balanced. Great cheese/after dinner red.

Meat and leather on the nose with plenty of fruit and wet stone on the palate. The bottle says aged in cement for 8 months but there is an obvious vanilla note. I hope staves weren’t used...
Delicious regardless.

Honestly seems a bit reticent but still coming forth with plush forest berries and plums and they always get a beautiful silken texture
