Reviews and Ratings

Le Gravillas Sablet 2016 is an intense and robust Côtes Du Rhône-Villages and just great value under $16. A blend of Grenache and Syrah grapes, the wine is fragrant with wild strawberry, dried herb and savoury spice aromas on the nose So delicious with ripe red berry, strawberry, cherry, savoury herb and earthy spice flavours on the plate. Steak wine for sure! This vintage was awarded Gold at the 2016 Concours des Vins à Orange (again). - Community Wine Reviews
