Domaine Naudin Tiercin - Côtes du Rhône Rouge 2024

Naudin Tiercin's Côtes-du-Rhône Rouge — a Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre blend — displays a deep ruby red in the glass with faint garnet reflections. Enticing aromas of dark berry and stone fruits dominate the nose layered with hints of garrigue and an earthy, peppery spice. The medium-bodied palate is warm and approachable showcasing flavors of blackberry, wild cherry and black plums kissed with spice. Bright acidity and soft, gentle tannins offer a smooth texture, but provide ample structure for the dark fruits as this wine flows toward a lovely, balanced finish. This is a easy-going Côtes du Rhône rouge with a ton of character and versatility on the dinner table. Pair with grilled meats, hearty pastas, roasted vegetables, or aged cheeses.
