2013 Côtes-du-Rhône

Selected by Kermit Lynch
Discount Eligible $12.95
SOLD OUT
The wait is over—our custom Côtes du Rhône is back in stock! While the last vintage may seem hard to top, the 2013 hits the ground running with an explosive aroma, generous flavor, and texture that is both juicy and chewy. Dark cherry, wild blackberry, black pepper, and rosemary let you know right away you’re in the Rho?ne. Versatile doesn’t even begin to describe this unfiltered red, which will complement virtually anything you put on the table. In fact, it will even make the leftovers that have been sitting in the back of your fridge for slightly too long taste good. Gulping will become second nature, so don’t hesitate to stock up on this reliably tasty, exceptionally affordable Côtes du Rhône.—Anthony Lynch

Sampling wine out of the barrel.

When buying red Burgundy, I think we should remember:

1. Big wines do not age better than light wine.
2. A so-called great vintage at the outset does not guarantee a great vintage for the duration.
3. A so-called off vintage at the outset does not mean the wines do not have a brilliant future ahead of them.
4. Red Burgundy should not taste like Guigal Côte-Rôtie, even if most wine writers wish it would.
5. Don’t follow leaders; watch yer parking meters.
