Shop Review: Wine Advocate, 87 points: From a 140+ acre estate near the well known Cotes du Rhone village of Point Saint Espirit emerges this juicy Cotes de Rhone. Well-made, with loads of berry fruit and a heady, meaty, peppery nose with a hint of Provencal herbs, the wine is fresh, lively, and best drunk over the next two years.
My Review: This clear ruby win has tremendous overtones of red berry fruits. It is smooth during the entire tasting, including the smooth subtle aftertaste. I agree that this wine would be best with eat and poultry courses.
With or Without Food: Without Food
