Tasting Notes:
Nice Cotes du Rhone with good ripe dark fruit flavors, a little bit of pepper spice and notable terroir or "garrigue" in the nose. I look forward to tasting this wine with a few years of age.

Putting Wine Tasting Notes to the Test
Tasting notes are a great way to get a sense of a wine’s personality before investing in a bottle you’ve never before tried. But how meaningful are they to the Average Joe? On a recent trip to Napa, we decided to put tasting notes to the test by comparing them with our own impressions.

I am not sure what grape varieties go into the cuvee. At age 20, it is great. Copper in color, clear and bright. The nose is gorgeous. 100 points for the nose. Peaches, canned peaches, slight salted caramel, and minerality. Full bodied and viscous. Not as good on the palate, but still outstanding. The peaches and canned peaches carry thru. Remnants of sweetness remain but very little sweetness shows. Nice acidity. Long finish. Just beautiful. This drinks well on its own and will work with a not too sweet dessert. Maybe a Pecan Roll would be good. It is starting to slide downh

This cuvee is 100% Syrah from fifty year old vines. It is also one of my go to budget wines. Purple in color, opaque and bright. The nose has black raspberries, slight bacon fat, black pepper and spice. Full bodied. Medium tannins. great texture and mouthfeel. On the palate, this is delicious. Flavors of black raaspberries with some meatiness and spice. Nice finish. This drinks well on its own and will work well with many foods. It would be a nice choice with Indian foods. Drink over the next seven to ten years.
