Winery Review: As for their other values, the 2010 Grand Veneur Cotes du Rhone Reserve (70%
Grenache, 20% Syrah and 10% Cinsault) displays loads of ripe flavors. It is very
concentrated for a Cotes du Rhone, and is actually an amazing wine. Classic
garrigue, black cherry liqueur, lavender, licorice and spice box are all present
in this fullbodied, intense, and rich Cotes du Rhone. This is a
sensational effort to drink over the next 4-5 years, although it might last
even longer.
My Review: The color is a dark ruby that shows complexity. On the nose this wine has aromas of cassis, plum, and a jammyness. On the palate this wine is complex with a full body and mature tannins. There is a spicy start, slight heat on the mid-palate, and a dry finish. I really like that this is a good Rhone Valley wine that is being sold in a box.
