Light to medium weight the palate has juicy flavours of dark raspberries and spicy dark plums over traces of earth and spicy dried herb infusions. Finishes quite dry with slightly chalky tannins. Aftertaste of spicy dark raspberries, dark plum an earthy dried herbs.

Other Reviews…
This estate makes a fine Côtes du Rhône, and the 2015 Côtes du Rhône (75% Grenache and 25% Syrah) has classic Provençal herbs, sweet cherries and garrigue aromas and flavors in a fruit forward, beautifully textured style. It’s a no brainer for drinking over the coming couple or years.
