Country: France / Cuvée Gladiateur
Variety: Rosé Rhône Valley
Winery: Domaine du Vistre / Costières de Nîmes
This wine starts off a bit tarry or rubbery, but with airing that dissipates to reveal a dry, savory, complex rosé. It’s a blend of Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre that builds in layers of texture from chalky to silky on the finish.
