Chateau La Nerthe Les Cassagnes Cotes du Rhone Villages 2021 750ml

Winemaker Description Dark ruby red in color, this well-balanced, airy, and elegant wine offers vibrant notes of raspberries, black currant, ripe cherries, bay leaves, and pepper with fine and silky tannins. Expert Review - Vintage 2021 James Suckling 92 Points | A round and fruity red with plenty of cherries, wild berries, dried herbs and baking spices. Medium body with fine tannins. Velvety with a caressing texture and a flavorful, juicy finish.  Anna Lee Iijima of The New Wine Review writes 90 Points |  Whiffs of sandalwood and char introduce this full-bodied, fleshy Côtes-du-Rhône Villages produced by owners of Château La Nerthe in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. While black plum and blueberry flavors are ample on the palate, reflective of the vintage, it’s a touch demure in concentration compared to previous years. A juicy, forward wine to drink young.
