NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Clos du Caillou Les Quartz Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a powerful and complex expression of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cinsault, and Vacarèse.On the nose, it displays aromas of black cherry, dried herbs, and licorice, while on the palate, it shows intense flavors of blackberry, fig, and spice, with a hint of pepper and smoke. The broad, velvety tannins are balanced by a bright acidity and a long finish. Enjoy now or cellar for up to 20 years.

ORIGINS
Winery: Clos du Caillou
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
