Chateau De Saint Cosme
Cotes Du Rhone 2011

Winemaker's notes... What I look for in this wine is a bright fruit followed by a well-structured mouth with a good texture. I am not necessarily searching for an ageing potential, but apparently, this bottle does age. The Syrah from the southern Rhone does not have the finesse of a good northern Rhone Syrah, but it has a fresh fruit full of charm. Blackcurrant, oriental spices, licorice and violet.

"A mouth filling core of plum sauce and blackberry paste is backed by charcoal and anise on the finish. Solid, direct, pure and driven."   Wine Spectator 90 Points
