Père Anselme La Fiole Côtes du Rhône 2014
Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhone, Rhone Valley, FranceThe Côtes du Rhône with the distinctive bottle is usually enough to identify Anselme's La Fiole, a regular on BC shelves. Stewed cherry, dried raspberry and brisk herbs dominate this spiced blend of grenache and syrah, one dusted with fine pepper and juicy with a swell of acidity. Tannins are somewhat powdery and bitter, detracting from this simple wine's charm, but easily mitigated by pairing with turkey sausages or chicken burgers.Tasted: 10 January 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $17.49 | 750ml | BCLS |
