Côtes-du-Rhone- The color is ruby red with bluish highlights. The nose is very expressive with intense nose of soft spices and fresh ripe fruit. The mouth is smooth with a nice volume and refreshing flavors of black fruit, pepper and soft licorice. The tannins are fine and well-coated. The finish is quite long and smooth.-Winemaker's Notes 53% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 15% Carignan, 8% Marselan, 3% Mourvèdre, 1% Cinsault
