Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Blend of 55% Grenache, 40% Syrah with 5% other varieties. Ruby color with aromas of red berry fruits with spicy notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry and raspberry, juicy with pleasant spices. Fine tannins, good balance with acidity, medium finish ending with fruit and spice. Consistent from year to year.

Can’t think of a better way to spend $15. ‘16 is a good year for rhones, and this one shows it.

Great easy Cote du Rhone. Gravel, wet stone, dirty spice, humming acidity. Fits the bill and perfectly adequate.

You know that band who never made a hit, but you kind of liked them anyway because they sampled Bettye Swann one time & it was nice? It's this wine, with blackberry & licorice on top.
