The story behind Hippodrome
Cotes du Rhone is the everyday red of France's Rhone Valley, built mostly on Grenache with Syrah and Mourvedre in the blend. The style tends toward red and black fruit, a little pepper and garrigue, moderate tannin and good acidity, which keeps it honest at the table rather than heavy in the glass.
