Cotes du Rhone
'La Reserve'
Clos du Caillou
RP/Joe Czerwinski -
The pick of the Côte du Rhône lineup is the 2015
Cotes du Rhone La Reserve. A blend of 65% Grenache and 35% Mourvèdre
aged in demi-muids, it shows hints of vanilla and baking spices to go
along with red plums and black cherries. It's supple on the
mid-palate and velvety on the finish, showing ample richness and length. |

Chateau Pesquie
RP - Easily one of
my favourite estates from the up-and-coming Ventoux region, Chateau
Pesquie is run by the talented brothers, Alexandre & Frederic Chaudiere.
The wines sell for a song, yet always deliver high-quality, loads of
character and impeccably made profiles. |

Cuvee Artemia Rouge
Cotes du Ventoux
Chateau Pesquie
RP/Jeb Dunnuck -
Shockingly good, the 2009
Cotes du Ventoux Cuvee Artemia is in the top handful of wines I've
tasted from this appellation. Just insanely perfumed, with tons of
incense, Provencal herbs, garrigue, smoked meats and violets, this
full-bodied beauty has a stacked mid-palate, building, sweet tannin and
a killer finish. Hello beautiful, why didn't I buy more of you. |

Saint Drezery
Prestige Rouge
Chateau Puech-Haut
JebDunnuck.com -
The 2016 Prestige is made from 55% Grenache and
45% Syrah that’s from 65- to 80-year-old vines aged all in concrete
tanks. It's a huge, opulent, sexpot of a wine that offers crazy good
notes of black licorice, roasted herbs, peppered meats, and ripe, black
and hints of blue fruits. While this is no doubt a big, rich wine, it
has remarkable elegance and purity, and is the finest vintage I’ve
tasted to date. Drink it over the coming 4-5 years. This cuvée was
first made in 2009 by owner Gerard Bru, consultant Philippe Cambie, and
Eric Solomon, and it has knocked it out of the park in every vintage to
date. |

Gigondas
'Confidentiel'
Domaine Montirius
RP/Jeb Dunnuck -
The 2015 Gigondas Confidentiel is the smallest
production cuvee and is 80% Grenache and 20% Mourvedre brought up all in
concrete. It has beautiful purity in its ripe plum and blackberry
fruits, violets and mint aromatics. These give way to a medium to
full-bodied, rounded and beautifully textured Gigondas that will
benefit from a year or two in bottle and keep for a decade. |

Gigondas
'Tradition'
Santa Duc
RP -
The 2009 Gigondas Tradition,
a blend of 75% Grenache, 10% Mourvedre and the rest Syrah and Cinsault,
tips the scales at about 16% alcohol, so there’s nothing wimpy about this
wine. Loads of blueberry, smoky blackberry, kirsch, licorice and hints of
toast and earth all make an appearance in this voluptuously styled,
evolved wine, which is already drinking beautifully. This wine has low
acidity and velvety tannins, so there’s no need to wait to enjoy this
gorgeous red, which is drinking well now and should continue to do so
for at least another 10-12 years. |
