This is a dazzling effort

A muscular red

olive paste and exotic spices show outstanding clarity and lift

There is a lovely sense of verve to the beautifully well-detailed middle weight flavors that possess evident minerality that provides a sense of lift to the youthfully austere and moderately firm finale

Surprisingly lightweight and streamlined in the mouth

Jean-Michel Gerin, Cote Rotie Champin Seigneur Vintage:2010 This is a dazzling effort(includes roughly 10% viognier), Bright purple. Aromas of candied dark fruits, cola and woodsmoke, with a spicy overtone. Brighter red fruits appear on the palate, which offers an array of spicy berry flavors, seamless texture and very good energy. Finishes spicy and sweet, with a late note of violet and excellent focus. Josh Raynolds
