Tasting notes
Dark red. Ripe cherry and red berries on the perfumed nose. Pliant and open-knit, showing good clarity and lift to the raspberry and bitter cherry flavors. Silky tannins fade nicely into the fruit on the subtly sweet, persistent finish.

Bright ruby. High-pitched aromas of fresh raspberry and lavender, with a hint of white pepper emerging slowly. Round and open-knit, with pliant red and dark berry flavors showing a slight jamminess. Finishes supple and broad, with good cling and fruity persistence.
The 2013 Côtes du Rhône Samorens is a classic, well-made Côtes du Rhône from this firm. Showing plenty of sweet crème de cassis and black cherry before turning more savory with bouquet garni, leather and garrigue, drink this medium-bodied, nicely textured and easygoing effort over the coming 3-4 years.
