NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Montirius Le Cadet is a take on a Grenache and Syrah from the Rhone Valley.Its intense ruby color and light aromas of raspberry and blackberry give way to a complex palate of dark fruit, spices, and a hint of earth. The tannins are firm but well-integrated, and the finish is long and silky. A great wine for a special occasion.

ORIGINS
Winery: Montirius
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
