La Vieille Ferme Red 1.5L

The 1.5L bottle makes this a perfect pick for a dinner party—no one’s running to the store halfway through. The cassis and plum notes are rich but not heavy, and that herbal edge keeps it interesting. Plenty of depth for the price.

The herbal kick behind all that blackberry and plum makes it feel way more interesting than your typical table red. Grabbed the 1.5L for a casual weeknight and it stayed smooth from the first glass to the last.

The 1.5L bottle is perfect for dinner parties, and the cassis notes come through nicely. It’s a bit lighter than I expected for a Côtes du Rhône, but still a solid everyday red.
