Rhone | Rhone Blend

$ 33.99 $ 42.00

"A rich, fleshy and textural Chateauneuf with stacks of damson plum and a hint of dried date character. The expansive palate features an impressive tannin structure and plenty of savory depth, the creamy, yet dry finish completing the very satisfying picture. A cuvee of 50% grenache, 40% syrah and 10% mourvedre from vineyards on sandy soil."

"A blend of 50% Grenache, 40% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre, the 2020 Châteauneuf-du-Pape spent one year in a combination of new oak barriques and stainless steel tanks. Flamboyant and forward, it bursts with aromas of cooked plummy fruits with a dash of cedar and licorice. Full- bodied, concentrated and framed by smooth tannins, it closes with a touch of heat on the sapid finish."
