Balance of Powers Côtes du Rhône

Deep, dark, and full of southern French soul. Black currant opens bold and ripe, with a richness that feels like the last days of summer. Star anise is right there with it, warm and gently spiced, adding just enough intrigue to keep things interesting. Try it slightly chilled. It brightens everything up and makes it every bit as easy to reach for as the rosé.

This is a wine for outdoor dinners that stretch past sunset. For good bread, good company, and no rush to be anywhere.
