Réserve Côtes du Rhône Red Rhone Blend

Full bodied, opulent and unctuous - talk about a mouthful of flavour. Fruit salad flavours with low acid - bottom line delicious. From the Vacqueyras property of Emmanuel Raynaud of Chateau Rayas. 100% Grenache Blanc. Quite an adventure! Will seek out in the future.

An outstanding Cotes-du-Rhone from the guys who make Rayas. Rich, spicy aromatics lead a voluptuous and sexy, earthy core of mushroom and strawberry fruit. Not a hard edge anywhere. Superb. Thanks, Mark!

Thinking I may have had an off bottle. Portlike and way out of balance.

Broad, savory, needs a lot of air, thick with oily feel. Strong notes of fig and oak. Great with the Pequim Duck.

7 May 2018. Racines, New York, NY.

Intensity without being heavy, herbs and floral nose, with cherry, raspberry, and anise on the palate, long finish for it's class.
