Domaine Georges Vernay Côtes du Rhône Sainte-Agathe 2018

V 92
Cellaring potential: 2022-2029

"Deep violet. Spice-accented boysenberry, cherry and a hint of candied flowers on the highly fragrant nose. Appealingly sweet and focused on the palate, showing good depth and impressive clarity to the juicy, spice-tinged red and blue fruit and licorice flavors. Shows a repeating floral quality and bright, minerally lift on the subtly tannic finish, which hangs on with strong tenacity. These vines are planted in Condrieu, but since red Condrieu isn't allowed, Côtes-du-Rhône it is. Raised in used demi-muids and barriques."
