Tasting

“I loved the 2019 Côtes Du Rhône Blanc and this beauty has a rocking bouquet of caramelized white peach, honeysuckle, and white flowers. Rich, medium-bodied, nicely textured, and with nicely integrated acidity, this beauty has everything you look for in a Côtes du Rhône white.” Jeb Dunnuck, October 2020
