NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie La Mouline is a bold, yet elegant red wine.Aromas of ripe dark fruits, such as blackberry, plum, and blackcurrant, blend with hints of earth, smoke, and herbs. The palate is full-bodied and velvety, with concentrated flavors of dark fruits, minerals, and spices. The finish is long and persistent, with a subtle hint of oak. This is a highly-complex, well-balanced wine, perfect for pairing with gamey meats or seared mushrooms.

ORIGINS
Winery: E. Guigal
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
