Famille Perrin “Nature”, Côtes du Rhône Rouge, France, 2019

“Hints of crushed stone, dried herbs and black olives join mixed berries on the nose of the 2019 Cotes du Rhone Nature. Medium to full-bodied and loaded with assertive blackberries, blueberries and raspberries, it’s a fruit-focused, supple effort, boasting ample generosity and concentration on the palate and finishing with softly dusty tannins. It’s the kind of standout entry-level effort that bodes well for the vintage as a whole.”- Wine Advocate
