Cotes du Rhones are consistently at the top of our sales for every day, crowd-pleasing reds. Loaded with fruit, but not overripe or jammy. Admittedly, some can top out at 15.5% alcohol, but not this gem. It boasts a quite reasonable, and normal, 14% alc. Thanks to 50% Grenache, it can take a slight chill if you want. That will bring out the bright cherry fruit and accentuate the twist of black pepper on the finish. As it warms, the 40% Syrah comes out more, offering more blackberry fruit and wisps of anise. That Syrah also boosts the weight of the wine to “medium-plus”, making it suitable for pairing with things as hefty as that ribeye you’ve been eyeing at the store.
James Suckling: 92 Points
“Tons of black-cherry and ripe-blackberry fruit, but not a jot overripe. This is a bold and substantial wine for the appellation, thanks to the healthy dose of soft tannin. Plenty of licorice and spice… at the long finish. Carries 14% alcohol effortlessly! A GSM blend of 50% grenache, 40% syrah and 10% Mourvèdre.”
