Valcombe's wines always possess a beautiful purity. Grown in certified organic vineyards, this pleasing red is from a powerful, and underrated, area of the Rhône. The nose is bright with dried flowers, red spice, savory earth and light leather notes, which add complexity to the core of black raspberry, plum and pomegranate fruit that is lifted by cracked black pepper. A stony and stylish savory side comes through as lingering blueberry and strawberry continue to the finish.
