Wine Review: This very dark ruby colored Cote du Rhone opens with a pleasant blueberry bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced, and very easy to drink. The flavor profile is a tasty blueberry with just a hint of toasty oak and pepper. The finish is dry and its gentle tannins show nice length. This is a very approachable Rhone Red and would be a perfect glass pour option. Pair it with Kobe sliders. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: This wine, made to be drunk in its youth, is often quite surprising. It will be fresh and ready to be crunched. Blackcurrant, blackberry, graphite, liquorish.
