2019 E. Guigal Cotes du Rhone Rouge
#36-2023


Once again the current vintage of Guigal Cotes du Rhone receives both critic's praise, as well as fan appreciation for its latest offering!  The 2019 vintage is an exceptional buy and a wonderful companion at the dinner table.  Its suits the palates of folks like the "California Cabernet Kid" as well as the "Chardonnay Queen!".

This mostly Syrah wine is a beautiful dark red in the glass, with a nose full of blackberries and cherries, which call all the hands in for supper.  This is a bold red which is kind in nature to a variety of foods, and offers up flavors of dark berries mixed with a little spice.  It has good balance, and a lingering finish which begs for another sip!  The alcohol content is 15% and Norm's score is 91.

We enjoyed our sample with medium rare steak kabobs served with a fresh garden salad, bathed in an exquisite blue-veined cheese dressing.  This wonderful French wine would be an excellent choice for Bouillabaisse or Hungarian Goulash.

score: 91
price : $14 - $19
