OPERATION DRAGOON RED WINE COTES DU RHONE FRANCE 2023
TWI91 The 2021 Operation Dragoon, 70% Grenache and 30% Syrah, is medium garnet-purple in color. It comes skipping out of the glass with bright cheery notes of black raspberries, mulberries, and kirsch followed by hints of black pepper and garrigue. The medium-bodied palate is soft and juicy, with lively red berry flavors and a spicy kick to the finish.
JD89 A Grenache-dominated blend, the 2021 Côtes du Rhône has a juicy, medium-bodied, vibrant style as well as pretty redcurrant and cherry fruit, some peppery, floral nuances, soft tannins, integrated acidity, and a good finish. It’s incredibly well done and satisfying.
Estate Notes: Codename for the Allied invasion of Southern France, Operation Dragoon was launched August 15, 1944. During the next month, the French army liberated Toulon and Marseille while the American soldiers advanced National Route 7 with the help of the French Resistance to release the Rhone Valley. This four week campaign, combined with D-Day, was instrumental in the ending of the war. This wine is the homage to all those people who liberated the Rhone Valley, helping bring peace back to the world.
