The 2005 Perrin et Fils Cotes du Rhone-Villages essentially comes primarily from their estate at the home of Francois Perrin known as Chateau Grand Prebois. This wine, which is equal parts Grenache and Syrah, shows terrific fruit, a dark ruby/purple-tinged color, loads of berry, tar, and pepper, Provencal herbs, and spice. It is a solid mouthful of wine that should drink nicely for 4-5 years. Importer: Vineyard Brands, Birmingham, AL; tel. (205) 980-8802
