Romain Duvernay 2016 Cotes du Rhone Villages, Domaine des Pentalines

Romain Duvernay has been roaming the vineyards of the Rhône Valley for over 22 years, becoming one of its most renowned oenologists and wine tasters. Since the launch of the ROMAIN DUVERNAY brand in 2010, Robert Parker, Jancis Robinson, Stephan Tanzer and many others have had nothing but praise for the brand.

This wine from the exceptional 2016 vintage was sourced from a 65 acre hillside estate east of Avignon. The vineyards are strewn with the characteristic pebbles and the mistral winds cool down the sun-drenched grapes allowing perfect balance. A blend of 65% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 5% Mourvedre.

The Wine Advocate scored this 92 points saying "One of my top-rated village wines, Romain Duvernay's 2016 Cotes du Rhone Villages Domaine de Pentelines is a full-bodied wine that knits fruity and savory together into a seamless whole. Earth and leather notes merge with dark plum and cherry, finishing rich, velvety and long. It should drink well for 7-8 years."
