The 2010 Cotes du Rhone-Villages Signargues, primarily Grenache blended with Syrah and Mourvedre, exhibits strawberry and black cherry fruit notes intermixed with hints of licorice, damp earth and garrigue. This medium-bodied, elegant, pure, deep ruby/purple-tinged effort should drink well for 5-6 years.
