Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Dark ruby with light edges and medium intensity with aromas of small stone fruits and delicately spicy hints of pepper, thyme and garrigue (bush land). The palate is smooth, warming and elegant. Its aromas recall wild red fruits, dark cherries, forest floor and licorice. The tannins are soft yet precise.

Enjoy with a wild mushroom omelette, beef filets, veal stew, or with a dessert of chocolate and cherry cake.

Professional Ratings

  • 90
    Notes of summer-sweet blueberries and black-cherry preserves abound in this fresh-fruited but concentrated and solidly composed Grenache blend. Struck by hints of graphite and chalky, persistent tannins, it's a four-square, bang-for-your-buck wine that would be equally pleasing with weekday burgers or weekend dinner parties. Best now–2025.

    Raspberry and currant notes on the nose. It’s medium-bodied with chewy tannins. Fresh acidity and fleshy texture on the palate. Juicy with a savory finish. Drink or hold.

With bold fruit flavors and accents of sweet spice, Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre form the base of the classic Rhône Red Blend, while Carignan, Cinsault and Counoise often come in to play. Though they originated from France’s southern Rhône Valley, with some creative interpretation, Rhône blends have also become popular in other countries. Somm Secret—Putting their own local spin on the Rhône Red Blend, those from Priorat often include Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. In California, it is not uncommon to see Petite Sirah make an appearance.

Typically thought of as a baby Chateâuneuf-du-Pape, the term Côtes du Rhône actually doesn’t merely apply to the flatter outskirts of the major southern Rhône appellations, it also includes the fringes of well-respected northern Rhône appellations. White wines can be produced under the appellation name, but very little is actually made.

The region offers some of the best values in France and even some first-rate and age-worthy reds. Red wine varieties include most of the Chateâuneuf-du-Pape varieties like Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre, Cinsault, and Counoise, as well as Carignan. White grapes grown include Grenache blanc, Roussanne and Viognier, among others.
