Cotes du Rhone Villages, generally a step up in quality from the broader Cotes du Rhone designation, is one of the greatest values in red wine anywhere in the world. The Rue de Perle is a peppery, spicy example. This luscious Rhone Valley red offers sweet red-fruit aromas, good balance and is firmly structured. Beautiful for the price. Platinum award winner at the 2015 San Diego International Wine Competition.
