Pierre Amadieu Vinsobres Les Piallats 2013
Vinsobres, Côtes du Rhône Villages, Southern Rhone, Rhone Valley, FranceAmadieu’s Vinsobres comes off the northernmost and coolest vineyards in the Southern Rhône Valley. Les Piallats is a series of south facing slopes at some 380 metres on a mix of heavier sandy clay marl and lighter gravels. The blend is 60/40 grenache/syrah and it has a very fresh style not seen in most of the region. Red fruits and plums with a grind of pepper unleashed by old wood and concrete ageing mark the nose and palate of this delicious red. Think roast chicken.Tasted: 15 October 2015Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $30.00 | 750ml | speculative listing - Evolution Fine Wines |
