2022 Reserve Mont Redon Cotes du Rhone, Northern Rhone

Reserve Mont-Redon Côtes du Rhône from the Northern Rhône is a smooth and structured red wine that captures the character of Rhône Valley terroir with elegance and approachability. Produced by Château Mont-Redon, a respected estate with deep roots in Rhône winemaking, this wine blends classic Rhône varietals, primarily Syrah with a touch of Grenache and Mourvèdre, to create a wine that is both vibrant and balanced.

On the nose, this Côtes du Rhône displays aromas of ripe blackberries, black cherries, and a hint of plum, mingling with savory notes of black pepper, dried herbs, and a touch of violet—characteristic of Northern Rhône Syrah. There’s also a subtle earthiness and a whisper of oak. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied and smooth, with flavors of dark fruit, a dash of spice, and a hint of minerality. Fine-grained tannins and a refreshing acidity bring structure and length, leading to a refined finish with a touch of pepper and forest floor.

Ideal for pairing with roasted meats, grilled vegetables, hearty stews, and aged cheeses, this Côtes du Rhône is versatile and food-friendly, making it a great choice for any meal or gathering.
