The 1999 Cotes du Rhone (70% Grenache, with the balance Syrah and Carignan) is a special, unfiltered selection of 2,000 cases produced for the American importer. An excellent effort, it offers aromas of black cherries, pepper, and plums. Ripe, robust, medium to full-bodied, and delicious, it should be consumed over the next 2-3 years.
