Full-bodied, silky & elegant, the 2018 vintage of Paul Jaboulet's Cotes du Rhone Parallele 45 is a must have for all French wine lovers! Now produced entirely from organically grown grapes and located minutes from famed Chateauneuf du Pape, these historic Jaboulet vineyards were coveted and governed by the archbishops of Avignon. Today, the winery has been completely modernized under the leadership of proprietress Caroline Frey, and this Cotes du Rhone is a a big customer favorite. A blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah, the Parallele 45 is truly a Northern style Cotes du Rhone, with beautiful fresh Syrah character. Notes of wild berries, white pepper, lavender and cherries. A perfect everyday red!
"A good advertisement for the 2021 vintage in the Rhone this has stacks of red fruit and spice aromas, including a touch of pepper. Notes of licorice and sandalwood on the palate where the restrained tannins neatly fit with the generous fruit. Moderately dry finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink now."
