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.

Sumptuous, luscious CDP with a fruity and slightly sweet character, matched by the elegant nuances of raspberry and cherry Coke, as well as a nuance of cigar smoke. The elegant taste is well-balanced, with supple tannins that add density and complexity. As you continue to savor it, the layers evolve, revealing a enjoyable finish.

Layered and interesting nose unfolds, with the character of garrigue, prune, and cherry notes, giving way to a rich and rewarding taste experience, featuring concentrated chocolate, leather, and licorice, all tempered by the soft sweetness of blackberry jam.

Voluptuous and savory bouquet, with the sweetness of strawberry fruit harmonious by the herbaceousness of thyme, paired by the earthy suggestions of leather and the umami layers of mushroom, all without a trace of the 15% alcohol. The wine is racy and complex, with a finale that hangs long after the glass is empty. Alas, I wish I had purchased more.
