Domaine La Collière Rasteau Red Rhone Blend 2011

A fantastic small-production steal from France's Rhone Valley.  An 85% Grenache, 15% Syrah blend.  Highly recommended while we still have it. 90 Points Wine Spectator: "Very fleshy and silky in feel, with lovely crushed plum, anise and blackberry coulis notes gliding through the apple wood-framed finish. Drink now through 2014. 280 cases imported." ...This unheralded estate is making fabulous wines from their 62 acres of vines spread throughout Rasteau and the surrounding Cotes du Rhone appellation. Proprietor Georges Perot utilizes the services of the enormously talented Philippe Cambie, and, as one might expect, these are full-flavored, wonderfully pure, complex wines that respect their appellation."
