"Concentrated, supple, generous. From France's new AOC, Rasteau, found just above Chateauneuf-du-Pape in the Southern Rhone Valley, this rich red blend is made from old vine Grenache (the queen of the Southern Rhone), Syrah (the king of the Northern Rhone) and Mourvedre. Cave de Rasteau
Expect spicy blackberry, sweet black cherry, vanilla, thyme, crushed wild flowers, carob and sarsaparilla. The palate is supple with equally generous fruit alongside mocha, baking spices. Potent in character with sweet, polished tannins across the finish."
