DOMAINE LA MANARINE 2016 Cotes du Rhone-Village 'Plan de Dieu' (Rhone, France)

This prestige cuvée of Manarine is produced from a selection of lower yielding old vines with an average age of 55. Mostly Grenache, with some Syrah and Mourvèdre. The 2016 vintage is highly regarded for its balance and intensity. Expect flavors of dark fruits like black cherry, plum, and blackberry, with notes of dried herbs, licorice, and a hint of black pepper. The wine also displays earthy and slightly smoky undertones typical of the terroir.

Full-bodied with a firm tannic structure, balanced acidity, and a smooth, lingering finish. Enjoy with lamb, grilled meats & firm cheeses.
