Les Trois Couronnes Cotes du Rhone, France 2018
Regular price $12.00/
This lovely value from the Rhone Valley comes from Les Trois Couronnes, who also produce wines from Gigondas and Chateauneuf du Pape.
------
We get red and dark berry fruit on the nose with classic Rhone white pepper and earth. The palate bursts with fruit: blackberries, red plums and black cherries, as well as dried Provencal herbs, black and white pepper. Earthy minerality and chalky tannins finish, smoothed out by about a half hour of air.
------
Food Ideas: Sweet potato and black bean quesadillas, smoked paprika pork loin over mashed turnips, pappardelli with butternut squash, brown butter, and chard, tea-smoked duck breast
