Solid Rasteau offering honest Southern Rhône character at fair price. Deep ruby with purple highlights. Nose: attractive black cherry, blackberry, dried herbs and touch of black olive. Palate: good fruit concentration with dark berry flavors, hints of licorice and earth. Medium-bodied with moderate tannins providing decent structure and balanced acidity. Straightforward but satisfying finish with pleasant warmth and lingering dark fruit notes. [Rhone Roots 2025, Lumiere London]
