Rendezvous: Our Newest Private Label

Welcome to "Rendez-Vous," our newest K&L private label. This latest addition to our lineup fulfills the promise K&L has always strived to deliver: exceptional quality wines that reflect the authenticity of their place, producer, and varieties - all at a price that makes sense.

This inaugural release comes from our longtime friends in the Southern Rhône, Dauvergne et Ranvier. While they farm excellent holdings throughout the region, this particular blend is sourced from the more prestigious Côtes du Rhône Villages appellation. A step above standard Côtes du Rhône, these higher-ranked sites produce fruit at lower yields, resulting in greater concentration and character.

After a series of blending trials, we landed on a beautifully Syrah-dominant cuvée. Composed of 70% Syrah and 30% Grenache, it captures all the inviting hallmarks of a classic Rhône blend, delivering vibrant red fruit and layered spice with impressive depth and approachability. We can’t wait for you to try it. 2024 Rendez-Vous Côtes-du-Rhône Villages by K&L Wine Merchants $12.99
