The 2013 Les Cassagnes de La Nerthe Cote-du-Rhone Villages opens with bright aromas of cherries and plum which are layered with white pepper, spices, licorice and lavender. On the palate this is beautifully refined with silky tannins and wonderful flavors that build on the finish. Overall, a solid effort which should drink well over the course of the next 5-7 years. 60% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 10% Cinsault, 5% Mourvedre, 5% Carignan. (Best 2017-2023) - December, 2015 (JD)
