Louise Wilson rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

With eyes closed, the bouquet of this Rhone look alike could easily be mistaken for a grilled pepper steak. The spicy, and meaty notes are joined by a balance of plummy red and black fruit on the palate. Showing a delightful balance of fruit and savory notes, this wine is drinking exceptionally well now. Will likely hold through 2015. Fantastic for roast lamb or beef. Tasted Dec 2013.

Baby Cote Rotie. White pepper, blackberry, lavender, and meat blood. Beauty. 90 Points. (ottawawinejournal.com)

Natalie's Review

Domaine Terlato & Chapoutier Shiraz Viognier 2011, Victoria, Australia: Lots of attractive black pepper and dark fruit on the nose. This full-bodied, juicy red derives a lift in the mid-palate from the splash of viognier in the blend. It delivers hedonistic pleasure and ripe, fleshy layers of black plums and blackberries. This would be a superb gift wine, but why wait for a special occasion? Pair with grilled pork chops and herb-rubbed chicken. Drink: 2012-2016. 18887 13.50% XD 750 mL $24.95 Score: 92/100.
