Delas Freres Cotes du Rhone Saint-Esprit

A robust and flavorful red wine from Delas Frères, Côtes du Rhône Saint-Esprit blends Grenache and Syrah to create a well-structured and approachable wine. Bursting with flavors of blackcurrant, cherry, and raspberry, it’s complemented by earthy undertones and hints of black pepper and spice. The smooth tannins and balanced acidity make it versatile for pairing with roasted meats, hearty stews, or aged cheeses. Its depth and complexity also make it enjoyable as a stand-alone wine.
