2009 Vintage
Tasted: Aug 2012
The Cotes du Rhone may not be the flagship red at Guigal but it's the money-maker and they produce a lot of it - now near 3.5 million bottles spread across some 500 growers. The blend is now equal parts syrah and with five percent mourvèdre. Winemaker Philippe Guigal is fine tuning this stylish red that mixes dry, red, floral fruit with pepper, smoked meat and just a hint of spice from a touch of mourvèdre. Powerful but round this will cellar well and improve for the next five to ten years. A perfect match for lamb chops or osso buco. (Anthony Gismondi).
2009 Vintage
Tasted: Nov 2011
From a blend of 50% Syrah , 40% Grenache and 10% Mourvedre , this surprisingly deeply colored wine is filled with pepper, earth and dark cherries. In ripe vintages, this simple wine gives a lot of pleasure for under $10. However, it does not last and should be consumed in the first few years of its life. Look for the 2010.
