Côte Red

Côte Red Wine Details
Price: $22.00 per bottle

Description: This contemporary blend of Grenache, Mourvedre, Syrah and Cinsault produced a wine with rich dimension and structure, with each variety adding a definitive “Brick” in the wall of flavor. Sourced from 70 and 80-year old vineyards in the Cucamonga Valley, it has beautiful, red, plum color with spicy fruit qualities in the nose. The five varietals meld to yield a richly complex wine, berries, rose petals, plums, a touch of tobacco and cedar. In addition to the subtle oak, soft, mouth-filling tannins yield to the rich fruit flavors and long, lingering finish. This wine can easily rival any classified wine of the Rhône region of France, and its structure is sure to age and become more beguiling with age.
