NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Château Pesquie Ventoux Terrasses is a delightful blend of Grenache and Syrah grapes, showcasing a deep ruby color with a nose of ripe red and black fruits.On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, with juicy, jammy flavors of ripe blackberry, raspberry, and black currant. There's a hint of earthiness and spice, as well as a slight herbal note. The finish is long and rounded, with lingering notes of red fruit and spice.

ORIGINS
Winery: Château Pesquie
Region: Rhone
The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.CUSTOMER RATING
