My daughter Rebecca got me this for Fathers’ Day a few months ago and it’s delicious for a basic CDR. Ripe black raspberry fruit accented with earthy garrigue. Mouthfilling and balanced, with savory flavors including a bit a textbook iodine. Nice balance and length. That a mass-produced wine could easily compete with some artisanal alternatives is impressive.

Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.
Fruity nose of blackberries, blueberries, plums, wood, earth, vegetables, coffee, vanilla, herbs, spices, tobacco leaf and peppercorn.
Medium bodied with medium plus acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with plums, strawberries, currants, vanilla, licorice, herbs, spices, earth, wet leaves and peppercorn.
Nice finish with medium tannins and tart cherries.
This is a nice Côte du Rhône. A little unbalanced with mild complexity. Drinking very nicely now.
Better after an hour in a decanter, but drinkable right out of the bottle.
A blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah.
I paired it with a chicken flatbread.
13.5% alcohol by volume.

Spicy aroma, slightly boozy. Astringent, edgy. Some nice fruit concentration on the finish.

Very sharp wine. Unpleasantly sharp. Dark fruits and herbaceous notes. Paired with pan seared duck breast with honey, thyme, balsamic reduction. Wine overpowered duck. Would not buy this again. Not terrible with the duck breast and sauce but did not great. Also did not enjoy alone

Nice and dry rosé. Doesn't really stand on its own. However, it complements food very nicely.
