A touch scorched and roasted, with modest depth and length. Correct, but entry-level to be sure. Tasted January 2021.

A flavourful spicy red from the south Rhone. Very typical of the region, with lots of rich, ripe fruit and notes of local herbs. Not particularly complex or long finishing but perfectly in line with its $15 price tag. Quite delicious. For near term consumption, Tasted March 2021.
