Domaine Garon 'La Part des Vivants' Cotes du Rhone 2019

 We call La Part des Vivants our baby Côte Rôtie and we like to tell people this wine offers a window, maybe a slight portal, to experiencing a hint of the flavors Côte Rôtie can offer but at an affordable price. Vivants is 70% Syrah, 20% Grenache and 10% Carignan.

The wine is aged in older, neutral barrels which helps to avoid oak influence and better serves to round out textures in the wine. It has lovely, concentrated wild berry flavors, dark chocolate, spice and dry herbs.

The acidity is ample for a red wine of this nature giving it freshness and allowing this ripe Syrah to dance on your tongue and pair nicely with good food.
