Country: France /
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend Rhône Valley
Winery: Domaine Coudoulis / Côtes du Rhône
Coudoulis is an up-and-coming estate in Lirac. This is only a Côtes du Rhône, but it’s an excellent effort, combining generous black cherry fruit with hints of pie crust and baking spices. It’s full-bodied and plush, with a velvety texture and long, licorice-tinged finish. Drink now–2018.
