Les Vignerons d'Estézargues
Domaine La Montagnette Côtes du Rhône Villages Signargues Grenache Blend
Just a sexy little CdRV! Dark luscious inky color in the glass. Velvety on the palate with dark dry boysenberry, unripened raspberry, spice box and faint hints of smoke/char. The beauty is the wine swirling in the glass. Easy drinking, soft tannins, everyday wine to enjoy now.

Cairanne Côtes du Rhône Villages Red Rhône Blend 2009
Another Total Wine pick up, as I try to expand my horizons. This is a Cotês du Rhône Villages AOC which is a separate AOC from the more well known Côtes du Rhône wines. Villages was established as an AOC back in 1966-1967 with Cairanne being 1 of the 5 recognized villages in this AOC. This blend is a GSM at 80% Grenache, 15% Syrah, and 5% Mouvèdre. It's also a tale of two cities - drink it while funky or let it mellow out for a few hours, your choice. ~$18 | #côtesdurhônevillages #gsm #totalwine

Merely a decent #côtesdurhônevillages that starts off pretty rough with uncouth tannins and heavy oak but after a couple of days in wine fridge it evens out somewhat. Bramble fruit, smoky spice notes, more ripe and less acid flavor profile ending in lingering woolly tannins — 4 years ago
