Cotes du Roussillon Syrah & Vieilles Vignes Grenache

Like a much more heavy hitting, high toned Northern Rhône wine, but wayyy less expensive. Delicious.

This may be the QPR champion of 2019 and we’re only halfway through March. Incredibly pure red fruits, brambles, garrigue, pepper, spice. Handsome structure. Tongue smacking finish. This drinks as well as Rhône wines that are four+ times the price. Giddy up.

Clé had this 6 years ago

I won't say the wine was cheap. I will say the price point was low. But but but this is one of those 20$ bottles your brain says " wait is the 200$ bottle 10x better? Ish don't think so ! So see it, buy it, enjoy it! Call me later. 1-800-don't overspend!

One of the best $13 bottles of wine I have had. Fruit forward more new world style. Great QPR.

A well structured blend of Syrah ,74%, and Gernache,26%. Deep colour, earthy notes, black fruits. Balanced, smooth ripe tanins, very tasty.

Medium-deep ruby color.
Aromas of fresh strawberry, strawberry syrup, floral, soft spice.
Dry. Flavors of strawberry, red floral, cinnamon. Medium, chewy tannins. Lovely!

Intensity: 5/5
Complexity: 2/5
Balance: 5/5
Finish: 5/5

Vanilla and rubbing alcohol on the nose, mulch, potpourri and stewed fruit on the palate, nice floral finish

Deep ruby in color; cherries, chocolate, and dried herbs on the nose; medium plus acidity, medium minus tannins; tastes like bitter chocolate, plum, and herbs with a long peppery finish. After a good decant, it tastes more like chocolate and cherries with hints of bell pepper.

This has certainly grown on me. Even better the next night. Good solid GSM. 12.95 at lawc. Would definitely get again. Open 1+hr before serving.
