Dark, bright color. Complex nose of black currant, strawberry and blackberry with a hint of white pepper. The palate displays good structure and balance between ripe syrah flavors, the alcohol and tannins. Medium to long finish.

Red Beret is sourced from the beautiful vineyards in Southern France, in the famed wine growing region of Côtes du Rhône. With its magnificent terroir, including large portions covered with “Red Galets” or large rounded rocks, the Red Beret vineyards benefit from a remarkable range of soils and landscapes adding vibrant flavors and character to the wine.

The 2004 growing season was sensational in the Côtes du Rhône with perfect conditions from spring to harvest. Marked by cooler temperatures than the extremely hot 2003 season, the cold and dry nights brought plenty of complex flavors, vibrant color and crisp acidity to the wines.
