Domaine des Escaravailles 2022 Cotes du Rhone "Les Sablieres" 750ml

Based largely on Grenache (there's 20% Syrah), the 2022 Côtes Du Rhône Les Sablières sports a medium ruby hue to go with a pretty perfume of spicy red and black fruits, peppery garrigue, and violets. This balanced, elegant, medium-bodied, seamless beauty will put a smile on your face any time over the coming 4-6 years, if not longer. It would be one hell of a house red.
