La Nerthe - Les Cassagnes Cotes-du-Rhone Villages 2022
Price: $34.99
La Nerthe Description
"The wine is a blend of organic Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre grapes grown in sandy and limestone soil containing shards of calcareous rocks, providing high quality natural filtration. The average age of the vines is over 40 years old. The vineyards are located at altitudes up to 600 feet above sea level and the gently undulating slopes produce high quality grapes. Les Cassagnes means oak trees, which surround the vineyards. The grapes are harvested by hand and carefully sorted after arriving at the winery. The grapes are lightly crushed, and color and tannins are gently extracted with several daily pumping overs of the tanks. Co-fermentation of the three varieties occurs over a long maceration of 3 to 4 weeks. The final blend is aged on fine lees in stainless steel tanks for 9 to 12 months before bottling."

Decanter: 92 Points
There's touch of oak to the nose and palate, giving a touch of spice and polish to the intense, concentrated nectarine flavours. Plenty of impact and concentration. Grown within the Côtes du Rhône Villages Massif d'Uchaux AOC territory, but that appellation is currently reserved for red wines only
James Suckling: 92 Points
A fruity, round and velvety blend of grenache, syrah and mourvedre. The nose shows notes of strawberries, sweet cherries, praline, roasted meat and mixed spices. It’s medium-bodied with fine tannins. Velvety texture with a spicy kick at the center and more peppery character in the vibrant finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
