2019 Chateau de Rouanne Vinsobres

“Delivers a nice saturated feel without being heavy, letting cherry and plum paste notes unfurl slowly, along with violet, licorice root and warm humus accents, which all blossom steadily through the savory finish. Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. Drink now through 2027.” – James Molesworth Review Date: April 2022

“Brilliant medium-ruby in appearance, the wine has an alluring nose, with purity in fruit and floral bouquet. The palate offers fresh-sliced red apples, cherries and cranberries tossed with a dusting of cinnamon slowly baked in terracotta. Impressive crisp acidity draws the fine tannins long on the palate, with a touch of sweet spices on the finish. Enjoy now with roasted dishes that have a touch of sweetness, such as roasted sweet potato with goat cheese.” – Anna-Christina Cabrales Review Date: October 2023

“Looking at the reds, the 2019 Vinsobres is unquestionably outstanding and has lots of Syrah character in its dark, meaty fruits, peppery herb, violet, and chalky mineral-like aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied, nicely textured, and balanced, it has plenty of structure and will keep for 8-10 years. Maturity: 2022 – 2032” Review Date: January 2022
