Region | France: Rhone, Southern | |||
Notes | "Very attractive nose of raspberries, licorice and oranges with a touch of summer flowers. Round and silky on the full-bodied palate, the ample tannins are beautifully integrated, making the long, refined finish velvety. A cuvee of 65% greanche, 20% syrah, and 5% each of mourvedre, counoise and cinsault from biodynamically grown grapes." (James Suckling) | |||
Additional Notes "The 2022 Domaine de la Solitude marries the year's natural richness with the freshness typical of this cool site. In the blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot, the Cabernet drives, offering notable savory intensity and structure. Hopefully élevage will help soften the tannins." (Vinous) |
