2019 Côtes du Rhône

Selected by Kermit Lynch
Discount Eligible $12.95
SOLD OUT

One of the things I love about this bottling is that while we get to choose our blend every year after tasting samples from roughly twenty different tanks, we still allow the conditions of the vintage to guide us, giving us a fresh, honest, and pure entry point to the Rhône’s great reds. This 2019 reflects a relatively warm year in the southern Rhône Valley, rendering this cuvée a little more solaire than its 2018 counterpart. Still, it bears all of the trademark qualities that we look for in a weeknight rouge from this slice of France: the dark fruit, wild herbs, stony spirit, and, most important, deliciousness that you want to savor again and again.

Vintage Chart

Trust the great winemakers, trust the great vineyards. Your wine merchant might even be trustworthy. In the long run, that vintage strip may be the least important guide to quality on your bottle of wine.—Kermit Lynch
