Chateau Saint Roch 'Chimeres' Red Blend, 2016, Cotes du Roussillon, France
$23.99
This is a lovely red blend of 40% Black Grenache, 30% Syrah, 30% Carignan from the Cotes du Roussillon, near France's Rhone Valley. Lifted floral aromas, textured tannins and deep, dense fruit on palate. A big, bold wine.
91 points, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - The wine showcases red fruit (cherries and raspberries), which accent it with dried spices and a hint of dark chocolate. It's full-bodied and supple, with just the slightest suggestion of warmth on the finish. It's another great value from proprietor-winemaker Jean-Marc Lafage to drink over the next few years.
