Wine Expert Note:

This bold and complex red blend from Domaine de Fondrèche is a fantastic example of the Rhone Valley. Intense aromas of blackberry, black pepper, and smoked meat give way to a palate of ripe cherries, spices, and leather. The tannins are well-structured and the finish is long and intense.
