description: Three things mark this Côtes-du-Rhône-style wine: ripe fruit, softness and tannins. The fruit is impressively deep in blackberries, cherries, currants and unsweetened baker's chocolate. The tannins are brisk and smooth, making for good architecture. Oak adds welcome notes of vanilla and char. The high alcohol does not make the wine hot, merely a little sweet in glycerine.
variety: Rhône-style Red Blend
designation: Le Thief
