This was the most enjoyable and elegant Serious Red that we have ordered from Wine Access - we remember it as 5-Star PLUS wine! We tried very hard to find more of it elsewhere, when you were no longer a source. Thought we had found it - bought a case - the label was identical but what arrived was NOT IN THE SAME EMBOSSED BOTTLE and certainly NOT THE SAME WINE!!! Could this be the old vineyard trick of bottling a SUPERB wine in another label, then sending some out to lure buyers (US!) to purchase many more cases??? How sad; even now we would jump at the chance to buy some of the wine that we received in that delivery. And the serious wine lovers with whom we shared this wine would join us!

I forgot this was in my cellar. Opened it tonight and was blown away. This is a superb wine. Nice fruit, backbone is there but not in your face (or overwhelming your palate) I could drink this wine every day and be perfectly satisfied.

Delicate nose, plum and chalk; plenty of fruit, with acid in balance, tannins in the background, brief fruity finish.

About Cotes du Rhone
The entire Rhone Valley is frequently referred to as the Cotes du Rhone, but this is also the name of the generic appellation that covers more than 100 communes in the region north of Avignon. The primary varieties cultivated here are Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cinsault and Carignan. Wines simply labeled Cotes du Rhone may rank at the bottom of the hierarchy, but the best of them are immediate and satisfying, with lush flavors of black pepper, roasted herbs, cherry, cassis, and raspberry. A number of villages have the right to call their wines Cotes du Rhone-Villages, or to append the actual name of the village. Wines designated Villages are generally a step up in quality and price, as they must produce a higher minimum alcoholic strength and come from vines producing lower yields. Large cooperatives still control a majority of the region's production, but their wines generally offer limited concentration and personality.
