The 2013 Cotes du Rhone Villages Rasteau Vieilles Vignes is a rock solid effort that shows the more pretty, medium-bodied, elegant style of the vintage. Made from 60% Grenache, 30% Mourvèdre and 10% Syrah, with ample garrigue, sappy underbrush, violets and floral aromas and flavors, it has nicely integrated acidity and fine tannin. It will drink well for 7-8 years.
