Counoise

Counoise Wine Details
Price:

Description: This is our third vintage of Counoise, and one of only a few bottlings of this varietal in the world. The cuttings are Beaucastel material sourced from Tablas Creek Nursery, planted for us in 1999 by Jim Holmes at his renowned Ciel du Cheval Vineyard on Red Mountain. Our primary use of these grapes is in our southern-Rhône blend (“Sirocco”), but we were so enchanted by the Counoise that we bottled some varietally, with a bit of Syrah to soften the acids and fill out the mid-palate.
