Rive Droite, Rive Gauche Côtes-du-Rhône Vendanges 2016
Côtes du Rhône, Rhone Valley, FranceThe great thing about Côtes-du-Rhône is that even when it's humble and inexpensive, it's (generally) entirely acceptable as an everyday / bistro red. This wine is a perfect example. Grenache, cinsault, syrah and mourvèdre tumble forward with juicy black and red fruits housed by soft, leathery tannins, sprinkled with savoury spices and finishing with cracked pepper. Potent garrigue throughout reminds you that you're drinking in the Southern Rhone. Excellent value for drinking now (screw cap helps).Tasted: 21 May 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $14.00 | 750ml | private wine stores |
