2019 Maison Stephan Cote-Rotie Les Binardes

Shimmering violet color. Highly perfumed, incisive aromas of ripe red and blue fruits, potpourri, olive, bacon and smoky minerals. Juicy and energetic on the palate, offering incisive, spice- and mineral-laced black raspberry, boysenberry and floral pastille flavors that show seamless texture and spicy back-end lift. Delicate tannins add subtle grip to the persistent, sharply focused finish, which echoes the bacon and floral notes. 100% whole clusters, and all stainless steel.
