The style of Château Mont-Redon Côtes-du-Rhône is one expressive of its "terroir," and vinified to exhibit deep, clean, intense fruit, soft, balanced tannins and early approachability. Deep violet red in color, the wine shows aromas of dark berries and raspberries which are confirmed on the full, succulent palate. These are offset by slight grilled notes and nuances of licorice, which carry into the persistent finish.
"As meaty and mouthwatering as a great steak, this is chewy with concentrated fruit, deep minality and considerable tannins providing a powerful backbone. At this price, buy a case to drink over the next 5 years."
