Fontbonau, Cotes du Rhone

very easy drinking wine in good quality

very fruity in the nose and palate, hint of earth and spice, light and soft tannin, very easy drinking, medium (-) finish

This is a very nice wine and a great value...great balance of herbs and fruit...it will probably get better over the next few years but you don't really need to wait that long.

Dark purple red violet color; light, baked red berry nose; tight, tart red berry, herbal palate with a touch of garrigue, needs 4-plus years; medium-plus finish

Deep purplish gem color, intense cherry & cassise nose, slight hint of bubble gum on the nose. Already seductive at such a tender age, when tasted, tannin rushed in but followed immediately by a nice round smooth gush of ripe fruit. Nice finish. Slight tint of animal note developed - very interesting wine. Definitely a rising star of southern rhone. Great value for money. Under the radar - must buy more!
