"A Gem a reasonable price"

The Rasteau Vieilles Vignes 2019 is composed of 60% Grenache, 25% Syrah, and 15% Mourvèdre. It was 80% destemmed and aged mainly in concrete vats. This beauty is worth seeking out and offers the classic black, fleshy fruits of Rasteau, along with notes of roasted herbs, leather, and pepper. With time, it shows more freshness and floral notes. It is full-bodied, with ripe tannins and exceptional length." (Jeb Dunnuck 2022)
