Aromas of dark berries, dark cherries and dried herbs with some spicy and meaty undertones. It’s full-bodied with creamy tannins and texture. Rich and voluptuous with creamy berries in the finish. Drink or hold.

There's a lot to like about this lush, seductive Rasteau. Offers cherry, plum and white fig dusted in refreshing white pepper, with good tension and smoked garrigue detail. Ripe and balanced, with good focus. Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah.

Black cherries, scorched earth, leather, and peppery, garrigue, and liquid violet-like notes all emerge from Tardieu's 2021 Rasteau Vieilles Vignes, a medium-bodied, elegant, beautifully balanced Rasteau offering ripe tannins and outstanding length.
