Côtes du Rhône Pentacle Le Dragon 2022

This really is a most attractive, easy-drinking earlier style from the Rhone. It’s a blend of Grenache and Syrah and has been designed to retain its vibrant, pure fruit characters. Lots of punchy red fruits emerge from the nose, and the palate has just a fine minerality cutting through the red fruits. There’s a fine core of tannin that works well with the fruit and a long, sustained, vibrant finish completes an excellent wine for drinking in the shorter term.
