The Perrin negociant business is now bottling a number of individual cuvees from the Cotes-du-Rhone. This one, a 50-50 blend of Syrah and Grenache, features plum and cherry fruit, with complex earth, spice and leather notes. Firmly structured, look for it to be at its peak from 2008–2012. Imported by Vineyard Brands. ——J.C.(11/15/2005)—— 88
