The name Perrin is inextricably tied to the wines of the southern Rhône Valley. For five generations, the Perrins, under the family surname as well as the name Beaucastel (the name of their iconic Châteauneuf-du-Pape estate), have been crafting wines that are benchmarks for other producers in the region. A bottle of Rhône Valley wine bearing the Perrin name is guaranteed to be nothing short of excellent. 

Famille Perrin raises the bar for Côtes du Rhônes, as evidenced by today's wine. A seductive blend of 40% grenache, 40% mourvèdre, and 20% syrah, it has aromas and flavors of very ripe red and black fruit characters laced with subtle notes of spices. Elegant and remarkably balanced, it offers fine tannins and the merest hint of Sichuan pepper on the long finish.

"A Côtes du Rhône that is packed full of bright plump fruit, blueberries, sweet sticky cherries, this has a really turbo-charged fruit profile. Tasty and sweet-fruited, it's fairly rich but still fresh enough for more than one glass. A medium tannic structure lends support to this tasty, loveable wine."

"Refined on the nose with cherries, blueberries, herbs, and warm spices. Medium body with very fine tannins. Textural and velvety with poise and vitality. Flavorful finish with a peppery lift."
