Château de Ruth, Grande Sélection, Côtes du Rhône Villages, 2018

This is ripe, juicy and flavoursome with an intense and concentrated palate of red cherry, blueberry and blackcurrant. Jammy fruits are matched with lively acidity that keeps things fresh with touches of clove and liquorice spice that linger on the long finish. A blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre from the small village of Ste-Cécile-les-Vignes in the heart of Côtes du Rhône territory, this is a comforting red that will pair well with food.
