Skalli Grand Vin - Côtes-du-Rhône Les Rabassières Rouge 2008
Grenache is the dominant grape variety in this Côtes-du-Rhône, lending it roundness and suppleness, alongside Syrah, which provides structure, and Mourvèdre, which adds complexity and finesse. A well-rounded wine with notes of red berry jam from the forest floor (strawberry, blackcurrant, raspberry), along with spicy and peppery hints. Soft, well-integrated tannins give this wine fullness and body on the palate. Don’t wait to try it!
