Wine on the Rocks?

A Galet
A Galet is a large, conglomerate rock (also called puddingstones) that is found in the Rhône Valley. Galets help store heat and provide excellent drainage. Le Galet Côtes-du-Rhône is a traditional Syrah-Grenache blend, providing an accessible, early drinking style without being overly tannic.

On the nose, there is an abundance of black and red fruit, particularly blackberry and loganberry, with plenty of warm spice. The palate follows the same theme, with the soft and supple tannins blending nicely with the warm spice to produce a mouth-filling richness . The flavor is similar to the nose, with plenty of red and black berry fruit combining beautifully. This wine certainly delivers a lot at this price.

Enjoy with canapés or as a match for a range of red meat dishes. Only $9.96 in the Bottle Club®.
