Natalie's Score: 90/100

This robust southern French red wine has seductive aromas of black cherry liqueur, dark spice and some oak. Very attractive, especially for the price. This full-bodied red wine is a blend of mostly Grenache grapes and the remainder Mourvèdre and Syrah grapes for the 2010 grapes. Decant 2 hours. Pair with grilled meats.

Food pairings: pizza.

Reviews and Ratings

One-third of this full-bodied French red wine was matured in wood barrels and the other two thirds in tank. Xavier Vigneron was the consulting winemaker. The 2011 vintage of the Cotes du Rhone is a blend of 65% Grenache grapes, and the remainder being Mourvedre and Syrah, all coming from old vines. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
