ruby grapefruit
laden with filigree tannins (lots of them) and energising acidity
The toasty oak is present but not overdone
Drink now and over 10 or more years
It’s a powerhouse and entirely seductive
Benjamin et David Duclaux Cote Rotie 'La Chana' Kelly's Reserve ruby grapefruitThis elegant Syrah Viognier blend opens with a vibrant nose of black cherry, plum, violet, and cracked pepper, layered with hints of olive, graphite, and smoky garrigue. On the palate, its medium to full bodied with supple tannins and fresh acidity, delivering flavors of cassis, licorice, earthy spice, and savory herbs. The texture is smooth and refined, leading to a long, mineral driven finish with lingering notes of dark berries and spice.
