winemaker's notes:

What a delicious value! A blend of 50% Grenache, 25% Mourvedre, and 25% Syrah from 35 year old vines, aged for a year in oak casks. A deep purple color in the glass, with warm berry, plum and spice aromas. Full-bodied and elegant, with mellow tannins, warmth and aromatic intensity. You can age this wine successfully for up to 8 years. Delicoius with meat, game, spicy salami, and mature cheeses.

A Customer - new orleans
As a new wine enthusiast, I can not assure you of the quality of the individual flavors of berry and complexity of each hint of fruit; but I can say that it is worth the money. I have tasted many wines in this price range, and it is definitely a smooth, medium to full bodied wine with a soft-purple color. It is not overly dry. And at 13%alc. it is a good wine for the average learner who is looking for a chance to experience a taste of southern france without an overly complex and baffling experience, while it is still a pleasure to drink such a fruit as tasty as this particular Cotes De Rhone.

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.

Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.
