Super for summer snacking

RHONÉA LES CONFLUENCES VINSOBRES 2022 AC, Rhône, France 43748 (XD) 750 ml $24.95 2 This wine is a blend of 50% Syrah, 43% Grenache and 7% Mourvèdre, boasting a delectable nose of ripe wild strawberry, blackberry, wild thyme and black pepper corn. The palate is as delicious in profile, supported by good tannin structure and acidity. The palate offers additional savory layers of black licorice, and black mushroom, with cassis that emerges again along its satisfyingly long finish. Enjoy its deliciousness now with proper aeration. Best Buy. [Drink through 2032.] Score: 92 (Anna-Christina Cabrales, Wine Enthusiast , Sept. 1, 2024)
