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.

Decadent and juicy fruit-forward wine with a deep, inky color, featuring a layered profile of blackberry, raspberry, blackcurrant, and cherry, all harmoniously balanced by a silky texture. The minerality and apple layers add richness and freshness to the mouthfeel, at the same time a subtle oak character and bracing tartness provide a soft finish. A wine that rewards patience and aging, with a long shelf life and a rich, fruity character that will only improve with time.

Rich, earthy impression emerges from the glass, subtly offset by a nuance of smokiness and a pool of luscious red fruit. A refined smell of herbal flavors and a sprinkling of spices adds strength and complexity. The body and nose are in harmony, with the fruit and savoury elements complementing each other nicely. but the wine is still developing, it shows promise and a certain je ne sais quoi. The linger is long and satisfying, with a elegant wisp of aeration. A promising start, but with further patience, it will surely blossom.
