Reserve Grand Veneur Cotes du Rhone

Reserve Grand Veneur Cotes du Rhone
Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault
2010
$14.95
Rhone Valley, France

Winery Review:  Displays loads of ripe flavors. It is very concentrated for a Cotes du Rhone, and is actually an amazing wine. Classic garrigue, black cherry liqueur, lavender, licorice and spice box are all present in this full- bodied, intense, and rich Cotes du Rhone. This is a sensational effort to drink over the next 4-5 years, although it might last even longer.

Personal Review:  Very dark, like cherry juice. Smells very sugary like a sweet red. Very dark hints in the aroma, almost like the inside of a cabinet with a strong wooden smell. More spice and pepper in the flavor, but still fairly smooth.
