Tasting Notes and Food Pairing Suggestions

  • Orecchiette pasta tossed with fennel sausage and caramelized cauliflower
  • Duck confit with polenta
  • Cuban style Arroz con Pollo

This Grenache-heavy Cotes du Rhone from the village of Cairanne possesses a very distinct chewy texture that lends an alluring mouthfeel and great rusticity to the wine. Full of stewed raspberry fruit, this food-friendly wine is an amazing value for the price.
