Its nose is full of dark fruit aromas, including blackberry, plum, and black currant. There are also hints of warm spices, such as pepper, nutmeg and cinnamon. On the palate, the wine has a velvety texture with juicy tannins and a long finish. The flavors are a beautiful combination of blackberry jam, vanilla, and a hint of tobacco.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This classic Southern Rhône blend exudes a complex and complex nose of blackberry, redcurrant, and dark plum.Spicy notes of black pepper, licorice, and dried herbs give way to an intense and powerful palate, with notes of blackberry, blackcurrant, and plum that are complemented by hints of warm spice and earth. The tannins are velvety and the finish is long and persistent. A truly outstanding example of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

ORIGINS
Winery: Ogier
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
