PRETTY, DAINTY VIOLETS
2006 Moillard Les Violettes,
While sniffing… Risqué rooted out several lovely little rewards, and specifically a 2006 Moillard Les Violettes Côtes du Rhône.
A sparkling rhodolite garnet colored liquid in the glass has a tantalizing nose of spiced cherries, pine and pekoe tea. As the light bodied liquid slides silkily across the tongue it yields delicious tangy cherry, plum and black pepper, more nutmeg and cinnamon spice wrapped in supple tannins with a fruity sweet impression but dry finish of raspberries and nosegays of old fashioned violets.
Risqué noted… “What a delightful Côtes du Rhône”, especially at $18.
Alcohol 13.5% ($18)
