Owner Rodolphe de Pins likes to age his wines a bit longer, so the 2017 Cotes du Rhone is the current vintage. A blend of 50% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 15% Carignan, 10% Cinsault and 5% Counoise, it features an intriguing array of herbal, fruity and savory notes, making it one of my favorite C?tes du Rh?ne bottlings. Cranberries and cherries intermingle with hints of thyme and bay leaf, adding hints of leather on the medium-bodied palate. It's silky and elegant, with a gentle touch on the softly lingering finish.

The silky 2016 Cotes du Rhone is a blend of Grenache, Syrah, Carignan, Cinsault and Counoise. Cherries, garrigue and leather notes all come together in this medium to full-bodied but gentle, elegant wine. It's smooth from start to finish, with fine-grained tannins and hints of thyme that emerge on the finish.

This large estate (over 110 acres in vines) fashioned straightforward, somewhat superficial, correct 2008s that lack generosity. They all require consumption over the next several years. Importer: Maverick Selections, Novato, CA; tel. (707) 363-2590
