Located in: Oth

The Southern Rhone had a tremendous success in 2004 and this rich-bodied Cotes du Ventoux is a standout with amazing depth of flavor and piquancy. Like all Cotes du Rhones this wine is delicious with hearty foods. Drinks beautifully now and will continue to over the next 5 years.

Good value wine for the price. Won't blow you away, but drinks smoothly, and you'll be done with the bottle sooner than you'd think.

Comments about Dom Balaquere 2004 Cotes Du Ventoux:

Inviting dark hearty color. Initial tasting was modestly fruitful but overall umimpressive. I let it breathe for an hour or two and discovered not only fuller fruit upfront but an enjoyable complex finish to the wine. The next day I ordered more. This is an interesting wine for the price.
