Starting off the reds and from the Southern Rh?ne, the 2015 C?tes Du Rh?ne Temps Est Venu comes from vines in the Plan de Dieu and Visan, and is mostly Grenache with smaller amounts of Syrah and Mourvèdre. It’s vinified and aged all in concrete, and was bottled earlier this year. Spice, black raspberries, herbes de Provence and dried earth notes all emerge from this medium-bodied, supple, elegant red that has gorgeous sweetness of fruit and impeccable balance. It’s a no-brainer purchase and will drink well for 4-5 years.
