Château Cabrières’ Côtes du Rhône vineyard is located south of Orange, on the edge of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The area of the vineyard is 1.53 hectares. The soil is comprised of clay-limestone mixed with pebbles.
Bright cherry red color with an expressive red fruit nose (strawberry and raspberry). Soft tannins in mouth, with freshness and spices. This CDR tastes like a baby Châteauneuf-du-Pape!

"Lots of peppery herbs, kirsch, and assorted leather and spice notes emerge from the 2019 Côtes du Rhône Vieilles Vignes, a medium to full-bodied, charming, balanced blend of equal parts Grenache and Syrah.

"A blend of equal parts Syrah and Grenache from vines not far from the domaine of Marcoux, the 2017 Côtes du Rhône offers a great nose of currants, kirsch, dried earth, and savory garrigue. Sweetly fruited and balanced, it has plenty of richness as well as a light, deliciously drinkable style."

"Chocolate truffles and licorice twists lend spice to flavors of blackberry preserves and roasted plum in this fruity, full-bodied red. A blend of equal parts unoaked Syrah and Grenache, it's an immediately approachable, luscious wine best enjoyed now through 2024. - ANNA LEE C. IIJIMA"
