Inching out the Viallière as my favorite of the Bonserine bottlings this year, the 2017 Cote Rotie la Sarrasine offers up delicate floral, herbal and spice aromas. It's medium to full-bodied, with black olive and blackberry flavors filling out the palate and providing a supple core for the potpourri notes. Deep espresso and vibrant berry flavors mingle on the long, silky finish.
