Scents of mulberries and black cherries are offset by strawberry-herbal notes on the nose of the 2018 Cotes du Rhone Villages, a blend of Grenache and Syrah. Smooth, supple and harmonious on the medium-bodied palate, it's easy to drink and easy to like, with some savory hints of black olive on the gentle finish. Drink it over the next couple of years.
