| Chateau/Producer: | Le Clos du Caillou | | Wine Name: | Les Roches Ronde Cotes Du Rhone Villages | | Country: | France | | State: | Rhone | | AOC: | Cotes du Rhone Villages | | Region: | Southern Rhone | | Wine Score: | 97 | | Notes: | I love this wine. The color is a beautiful dark garnet. There's a wonderful nose of dark berries, blackberry and plum. The flavor is incredible--jammy fruits, not overpowering, but strong, with an amazing long finish. It has a nice level of acidity, with distinct but subdued tannins. I was thinking of buying half a case of this, even though it's easily twice my usual price range, but when I got to the store I couldn't bear the thought of only having six bottles and went for the whole case. That's how good it is. | | Tasting Date: | 2005-07-21 | | Varietal: | Syrah | | Price US$: | 40.00 | | Source: | Hoppers, New Orleans |
