Château Rochecolombe, Côtes du Rhône, Rhône, France, 2013

Lively crème de mure and black cherry aromas lifted by delightful notes of fragrant herbs. Succulent plum compote richness in the mouth is balanced by sweet herbs and a peppery crunch, resulting in an opulent yet enticingly fresh mouthfeel, all enhanced by smooth tannins and a breeze-clean finish. Polished and characterful.
