Jean-Luc Colombo, Les Abeilles Rouge, Côtes du Rhône, 2014

The Colombo family base is in Cornas but this fresh, Grenache-dominant wine is from neighbouring vineyards in Cairanne, Rasteau and Vacqueyras. The silky-smooth palate is full of juicy red cherry and berries, fennel seeds and dried herbs – the perfect partner for stews and casseroles.
