NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Cote Rotie is noted for producing aromatic examples of the Syrah grape, sometimes enhanced by the addition of a little Viognier.This hauntingly scented example is typical of this. Perfumed notes of blackberry and violet leap from the glass and the palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins while the finish is long and evolving with black pepper nuance. Serve will grilled meats. Drink now or cellar for up to 15 years.

ORIGINS

Winery: Bonserine

Region: Rhone

The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.
