Mon Coeur Côtes du Rhône Red Rhone Blend

Dark fruit, a bit of the animal and just a touch of barnyard funk. A really interesting CdR. Leave it to Chave.

Nailed it

First introduction to Chave - and it did not disappoint. Pours way darker than any CdR I've seen - a tell-tale sign of the '15 vintage. Beauty aromatics of baking spice, lavender, toast, black fruit and pepper. The palate is big, with seductive chocolate covered cranberries, underbrush, and licorice accents. Tannins are staunch for a CdR, but don't necessarily in a bad way if you can handle them. This is completely on another level.. it makes other CdR's run home to their Mommas.

Tart cherry, cranberry, mild tannins, lingering light finish.

Parcelle recommendation :)

Hint of pepper -smooth finish-light enough to pair with the Halibut. Nice blend good value. Would order again.

Tasty weeknight blend

Great blend. Fruity up front with a tad of a smoky flavor. Dry finish on the palate.
