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.

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.
A really nice Rhone!
