Le Clos Des Saumanes, Côtes du Rhône Villages Gadagne 2015, Rhone, France

Tasting Note: A generous Côtes du Rhône with lots of muscled body and hair on its chest.

Medium-intensity ruby in color, this wine has an aromatic, medium-plus-intensity nose of black plum, red currant, raspberry, violet blossom and bramble.

On the palate the dry, full-bodied, Côtes du Rhône is filled with medium-plus-intensity, red-and-black fruit flavors suggested on the nose supported by medium acidity and slightly-grippy, medium-plus tannin.

There is midpalate complexity and flavor concentration that completes with a medium-plus finish.
