W-S Pro shows no results, darn it. Anyway, this is fantastic. Sure, it's on the riper side for a CdR, but it shows it so well. Vibrant raspberry fruit with subtle spice and zero heat. Absolutely delicious. (882 views) | | | Tasted by stevemar on 8/5/2020 & rated 88 points: Nice QPR at $10. Raspberries, floral, light earth. Light bodied, juicy and delicious on summer day.

Great at 10 (945 views) | | | Tasted by rbk2b on 4/27/2020 & rated 89 points: Dry, strawberry nose, needed to breathe a bit before drinking. Easy drinking everyday red. Good qpr. (975 views) | | | Tasted by BRR on 4/9/2020 & rated 91 points: What a killer value and, regardless of price, one of the better CdR I've had in a while. I could smell the wine as I pulled the cork...always a good sign. Chock full of raspberry coulis, a touch of chicory spice, herb. Juicy and delicious. My wife turned to me and said, "What IS this? This is really good." (999 views) | | | Tasted by 3daywinereview.com on 11/9/2019 & rated 88 points: $9.99 at 1010 Washington Wine & Spirits. Raspberries, floral, earth and minerals.

| Les Vignerons d'Estézargues Producer website
Les Vignerons d’Estézargues is a co-operative in the small town of Estézargues located to the south and west of Avignon. The co-op is truly unique in the wine world. All over France the co-ops still play a very important role in the production and sale of wine. They receive grapes from members and then make wine from them in large batches from many different vineyards blended together with the focus on producing wine in quantity rather than quality. Les Vignerons d’Estézargues takes a fundamentally different approach; starting in 1995 the ten different growers in this co-op began to vinify their wine separately and make single cuvées from their best plots. On the heels of the single cuvée project, Les Vignerons d’Estézargues began to practice natural winemaking – possibly one of the only co-ops in the world to do so. They use no cultured yeasts, no filtering, no fining and no enzymes during vinification or aging and only add a small amount of SO2 at bottlingRed Rhone Blend Read about the different grapes used to produce red and white Rhone wines
On CellarTracker, Red Rhone Blend is the term for a wine consisting of two or more of the traditional 13 Southern Rhone grape varieties. Typically it's the Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre or Cinsault grapes, but can also contain the Muscardin, Counoise, Clairette, Bourboulenc, Picpoul, Roussanne, Terret Noir, Picardan or Vaccarese grapes.
A 'food' wine. Lacking pretension and intended for local consumption with local cuisine. Lacks the 'high' notes on a Bordeaux, more earthy and sharper so often a better partner to meat dishes with a sauce.
