The 2013 C?tes du Rh?ne comes from sandy soils, located around the edge of Chateauneuf du Pape, and 65-year-old vines. Made from 80% Grenache, 15% Mourvedre and 5% Cinsault, it offers up plenty of darker berry fruits, pepper, and ground herbs to go with a soft, supple and medium-bodied style. It's a solid effort and will drink nicely over the coming 4-5 years.
