The blend for this single-vineyard Côtes du Rhône is mostly Syrah, Grenache and Cinsault. This is a wonderful value wine that will deliver a balanced, layered taste experience. Expect to encounter a floral, ripe wine with red and dark berries with touches of spice. This is characteristically smooth, round and supple. Price $ 16.95
