Rhonéa Tradition Rasteau 2021

This is ripe, lush Rasteau, with ripe dark cherries and plums seasoned with black pepper, rosemary, and lavender leaves. The palate has a comforting sense of fullness and warmth, with very fine but drying tannins and supple yet balanced acids. The finish is warm and fruit-forward. Tasted June 2024. Score – 89.
