Vinified all in oak tanks, the 2014 C?tes du Rh?ne Villages Visan Terre Pourpre (80% Grenache and 20% Mourvèdre) comes from an up and coming appellation located in the northern, cooler part of the southern Rh?ne valley. Sporting an inky purple color as well as classic notes of dark berry and plums fruits, it’s medium-bodied, plump, rounded and fruit forward. It’s not quite as elegance as the Florescenns, yet has more fruit and texture. It should drink nicely on release.
