The 1997 Cote Rotie La Garde exhibits a deep ruby/purple color, attractive spice, lush cassis fruit, medium body, and a round, low acid, fat style with moderate tannin in the finish. It should drink well for 7-8 years. Importer: Alain Junguenet, Wines of France, Mountainside, NJ; tel. (908) 654-6173
