Wine Review: This dark red wine from the Cotes du Rhone opens with a mild red plum bouquet with a hint of cranberry. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced, smooth and easy to drink. The flavor profile is a gentle mild mineral infused plum with notes of gentle black tea with a hint of nutmeg. The finish is dry and fades away nicely. This wine will certainly be a crowd pleaser and a great value as well. I found it to be food friendly and versatile. I would pair it with burger off the grill. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: A beautiful garnet-red color with blue reflections. Red fruits at the nose. It's well-rounded in mouth and offers a fruity finish. Pair with grilled meat and cheeses.
