Tasted out of bottle, the 2012 Cotes du Rhone Domaine Saint Jacques is a peppery, medium-bodied, supple Southern Rhone that offers up solid fruit and plenty of texture in a straightforward, delicious style. More underbrush and floral notes develop with air and this is a good effort geared for drinking over the coming couple of years. Drink now-2017.
This large co-op produces a bevy of well made, delicious efforts that are geared for near-term drinking.
