Domaine de Dionysos Cotes du Rhone La Devèze 2015 is a French red wine blend from Southern Rhone made up of 60% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 10% Mourvedre and 10% Carignan by Winemaker Phillipe Cambie and are classified as organic and biodynamic. Aromas and flavors of black raspberries, black currant and plum are layered with licorice/anise, spices and fresh lavender. This wine is medium body with nice acidity and 13.5% alcohol making this a very food friendly wine. A remarkable value at $14 that can only get better with some more time in the bottle. La Devèze vineyard stretches over 50 acres of sand and clay soils, on well-exposed slopes facing south/west. The vineyard is planted with 30 year old vines of Grenache and Cinsault for sweetness, warmth and mellowness, and Syrah and Carignan for robust flavor, body/structure and color. Fermentation takes place in temperature controlled concrete tanks and then is aged in French oak barrels for approximately 6 months. Southern Rhone red blends typically refer to a wide range of grape varieties often blended together to make wines in the southern reaches of the Rhone Valley in the south of France. While the blend could theoretically consist of any of a wide range of grape varieties, it is usually made up of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre, in varying proportions, typically with Grenache and Syrah as the dominant partners. The Rhone Valley is one of France's key wine regions. Wines from the northern part of the valley tend to be Syrah-dominant such as Hermitage and Cote Rotie, while wines from the southern Rhone are more commonly blends, with Grenache being the dominant grape. Chateauneuf-du-Pape is the most famous example of a southern Rhone blend, but similar blends are found in wines from Gigondas, Vacqueyras and Cotes du Rhone. #DomainedeDionysos #CotesduRhone #LaDevèze #Frenchredwine #blend from #SouthernRhone #Grenache #Syrah #Mourvedre #Carignan #PhillipeCambie #organicwine #biodynamicwine #delicious #goodwine #delicious #deliciouswine #wineislove #nyc #nyc🗽 #nyclife #nyclifestyle #scenefromny #scenefromnyc #washingtonheights #newyorker #newyorkcity #newyorkny #newyorkcitylife #winelover (at Amelie Upper west) https://www.instagram.com/nycmanofmanytalents/p/BrJVKk2nXA3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=mcdwy7athdje
