Yves Cheron, Les Dentelles Côtes du Rhône 2015, Rhone, France

Tasting Note: A Côtes du Rhône with body, silky concentration and lovely black fruit.

Medium-intensity purple in color, this wine has an aromatic nose of black plum, red cherry, kirsch, black currant and spring violet blossom.

On the palate the dry, medium-plus bodied Côtes du Rhône delivers flavors suggested on the nose supported by medium acidity and slightly-grippy, medium-plus tannin.

There is midpalate concentration and complexity that underlie the bright, purple fruit.
