"A blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre brought up in tank, the 2019 Côtes Du Rhône La Dame Rousse is a big, rich, powerful Côtes du Rhône loaded with notions of smoked black cherries, licorice, scorched earth, and ample minerality. These all carry to a medium to full-bodied Southern Rhône that has terrific purity of fruit, ripe, present tannins, and a great finish. I love its balance and it’s going to deliver ample pleasure over the coming 4-6 years."

"Attractive, ripe cherry fruit nicely balances the generous, moderately dry tannins and lively acidity. A touch of warmth from alcohol at the otherwise clean finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink now."

"Notes of bright red fruits like pomegranate, cranberry, raspberry, & savoury herbs. Mixed note of red and black fruits and cinnamon. Vibrant on palate, great food friendly wine."

"A very satisfying red Cotes-du-Rhone with plenty of black-cherry fruit and rather fine-grained tannins filling out the expansive palate. Lively acidity lifts the finish nicely. A blend of grenache and syrah with a touch of cinsault. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink now."
