The exuberant 2016 Cotes du Rhone Premiere Cote is a blend of 60% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre, aged predominantly in tank. Hints of garrigue and truffles accent ripe berries, while the medium-bodied palate is silky in texture and finishes long and savory. It's a dynamite wine for drinking over the next several years. Tasted twice, with consistent notes.
