There’s a gentle veil of minerality, and the nose is expansive, making way for notes that are more spiced than fruity.

February Club Rouge ~ The flavors are mostly deep and dark—stones, licorice, black olive, and blackberry—but the frame is lithe.

The palate is dense and ripe, yet wonderfully smooth and elegant. Racines seems to tap into the history of Les Pallières, the prestige and the high-toned elegance.

Black olive, fig, and rosemary abound in this easy-to-love, soulful southern Rhône red.
