(vinified with 70% whole clusters)

The detailed and highly energetic middle weight flavors possess excellent definition and seem built on a base of firm minerality while terminating in a tension-filled

and vibrant medium weight flavors exude a bracing salinity on the youthfully austere

Deep cloudy gold

Saint Cosme, Cote Rotie Size:6x750ml (vinified with 70% whole clusters)Bright ruby red. Complex aromas of roasted raspberry and black cherry, brown spices, meat and woodsmoke. Supple, spicy and rather easygoing, with the woodsmoke character carrying through in the mouth. Finishes with mellow, fine tannins and very good length. This is more pliant from bottle than it was from barrel a year ago, but doesn't quite have enough personality to merit a 90 point rating. Stephen Tanzer
