2019 Jean Louis Grande Reserve Cotes-du-Rhone
#07-2022
On a recent cold winter night we enjoyed a delicious Hungarian Goulash, made from prime beef and good organic paprika. On the table next to it was a bottle of Cotes-du-Rhone, one of my long time favorites. Most Cotes-du-Rhones are a blend of Syrah and Grenache, and a cousin to their better known Chateauneuf du Pape wines. This one from Jean Louis can look their cousin straight in the eye and not blink!
Pulling the cork releases the aroma of a basket of fresh red and black berries. The flavors swirl in the glass with an abundance of black cherry and raspberry, with an underlying tone of earthy spice. The finish is complex and lingering, and pulls you back for more. The alcohol content is 15%, and Norm's score is 90.
This wine is a true bargain at less than fifteen dollars per bottle, and in addition to hearty meat stews, if would be great with Veal Parmesan.
score: 90
price: $10 - $15
