Vieille Julienne Cotes du Rhone Lieu-Dit Clavin Rouge 2019 (1.5L)

91 JD

Moving to the 2019s from bottle, the Côtes Du Rhône Lieu-Dit Clavin always shows the style of this estate as well as the vintage, and the 2019 is well worth seeking out. Black cherries, gravelly earth, spicy herbs, and violet notes give way to a medium to full-bodied, floral, seamless Côtes du Rhône that does everything right. --Jeb Dunnuck
