Domaine Belle, Cuvée Louis Belle Crozes-Hermitage 2015, Rhone, France

Tasting Note: A good, full-bodied Crozes Hermitage filled with lots of delicious, ripe, black fruit.

Deep-intensity purple in color, this wine has an aromatic, medium-plus-intensity nose of black plum, raspberry puree, black cherry, bramble, blossom and strawberry.

On the palate the dry, full-bodied Crozes Hermitage has medium-plus-intensity, black-fruit flavors suggested on the nose supported by medium acidity and slightly-grippy, medium-plus tannin.

There are some notes of midpalate complexity supported by some tart, red-fruit notes towards the back palate.

Would pair well with red meat and cassoulet.
