Tasting notes
Moving to the 2018s, the 2018 Côtes du Rhône Vieilles Vignes Cuvée Unique is a custom blend put together by the estate’s importer, North Berkeley Wine. This medium ruby-hued 2018 has a sumptuous Provençal bouquet of spiced red fruits, dried flowers, and peppery herbs to go with an easygoing yet balanced, elegant style on the palate. It’s very much in the style of this upfront, ready-to-go vintage and is ideal for drinking over the coming 2-4 years.

A special bottling for North Berkeley Wine, the 2018 Cotes du Rhone Vieilles Vignes Cuvee Unique is a full-bodied, plush, velvety bottle of Grenache-dominated goodness. Leather and dried spices accent ripe cherries, picking up hints of mocha on the lingering finish.
