CLOS DES SAUMANES |
| NEW in Vintages, this crowd-pleasing, surprisingly fresh tasting 2016 is a fruit-driven blend of 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 20% Mourvèdre. It has a bright deep intense purple colour and an attractive, very slightly spicy, ripe plummy nose with some hints of sandalwood. It’s dry, medium bodied, harmonious, slightly spicy and bright with fresh ripe plummy fruit flavours plus a touch of cassis along with some sandalwood notes on the lingering finish. Versatile, easy-going and ready-to-drink, it has 14% alcohol and 2 g/L residual sugar all without any oak aging. A Vintages release Best Buy! |

| TASTING NOTE: The assemblage in the 2016 Cotes du Rhone Villages Gadagne is 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 20% Mourvèdre. Aged in tank, this full-bodied beauty starts with hints of struck match and asphalt, then eases into vibrant black cherries and orange zest. It's a touch warm but creamy on the mid-palate, then velvety on the long, lively finish. Drink date: 2018-2022. Score - 89-91 (Joe Czerwinski, robertparker.com, Nov. 30, 2018) |
