comments:

VC: The Marès family began making wine in Algeria during the early 20th century and would later acquire properties in Bordeaux (Château Puy Castéra) and in Costières de Nimes where they founded the renowned winery that produces this wine. Their Cuvée Tradition is a floral, Muscat-like wonder. My note: One of my favorite producers in Rhone. Consistently balanced and delicious. Great value. Food matches: cheeses.
