Côtes de Tables Red
TASTING NOTES
The Côtes de Tablas has a spicy Grenache-led nose, despite the relatively high percentage of Syrah: wild strawberry, mint, fresh figs, and an undertone of chorizo-like meatiness. In the mouth, lifted fruit is balanced with richness, like strawberry shortcake, with complex flavors of Mexican hot chocolate, cola, and fresh dates. Drink now and over the next decade.
