Reviews and Ratings

Craig Haynes - WSET3 FWS SWS IWS rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Vibrant aromas of ripe raspberry and blueberry with a touch of crushed stone dust follow through to grippy tannins, medium bodied spicy palate and long fruit accented finish. This unfiltered blend of Syrah, Mourvedre and Grenache was attractive to the eyes, featuring a deep ruby colour infused with stunning purple hues.

These grapes were grown in France’s Saint-Chinian-Roquebrun appellation, an approximately 400 hectares area distributed over four villages, hand harvested from vines planted in schist soils. Enjoy.

Cave De Roquebrun Roches Noires 2016 is a full-bodied, powerful and spicy red wine blend of 60% Syrah, 20% Grenache and 20% Mourvèdre. Rich and delicious. Pair with a well-marbled ribeye steak from the grill. - Community Wine Reviews
