Domaine Fond Croze Le Serre de la Garde Côtes du Rhône 2020

This perfumed, seductive blend of Grenache and Syrah opens on whiffs of candied violet, camphor and blueberry cordial. Sourced from organic vines and vinified with no apparent oak influence, it’s fresh and pure in raspberry and blueberry flavors. Finishing on a whisper of tannins lingering streaks of salty minerality, it’s a wine that begs to be enjoyed young but should maintain peak through 2027. Score – 92. (Anna Lee C.
