2021 Vignerons d'Estezargues Cuvee des Galets Cotes du Rhone Rouge

From: Cotes du Rhone, Rhône, FranceBlend: Grenache (50%), Syrah (25%), Carignan (25%) Taste: Aromas of just-ripened raspberries, black berries, and plum skin with a touch of Mediterranean herbs, violet and a pleasant hint of baking spice. On the palate, these flavors continue, and the wine is delightfully focused around its fruit all while maintaining a light and mildly spicy body with rounded, silky tannins and a medium finish. Pairing: Silky, juicy, and beautifully balanced -- this is roast chicken wine par excellence. For just 13 bucks? You can spend up on your herbs de Provence! Of course, you can pair this with much more too; drink with grilled artichokes, eggplant-based dishes, pork chops with braised onions, lamb kebabs, gyros, and of course, with taco or burger night on a laid back weeknight. We’re sharing Ali Slagle’s Crispy Baked Chicken below for an easy-breezy alternative to that roast chicken note above. Santé! This wine. Organically-farmed vines planted on alluvial marls
