Sporting a healthy, deep purple color, the 2013 C?te R?tie Fortis is a terrific C?te R?tie that shows the sexier, more voluptuous and textured side to the vintage. Incorporating a big dash of Viognier, it offers loads of crème de cassis, black raspberry, violet,s and wild flower-like aromas and flavors to go with a medium to full-bodied, concentrated, textured and seamless style on the palate. It has real class and will drink well through 2028.
