Château d’Or et de Gueules 2010 Les Cimels Red (Costières de Nîmes)

Country: France / Rhône Valley
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend
Winery: Château d’Or et de Gueules / Les Cimels

Dense almost to the point of chewiness, this is a concentrated blend of Syrah, Carignan and Grenache. Earthy, plummy notes pick up hints of dark chocolate and licorice before ending rich and velvety.
