$18.00 per bottle
Description:
The 2003 Rhone Ridge Cuvèe is a blend of 4 classic Rhone Varietals: 60% Syrah, 20%
Grenache, 10% Counois and 10% Cinsault. Like many southern Rhone wines, this is a
full-bodied wine with flavors and aromas of currants, blackberries and spiced fruits. A
cool September delayed the harvest of many of these grapes to the beginning of
November, which resulted in a rich wine with toothsome tannins and a long, sweet, heady
finish. These vines range from 5-10 years old. This wine is 100% destemmed, with a 6
day cold soak followed by 20 days maceration at 90°F. This wine matured for 10 months
in 33% new French oak and was bottled unfined and unfiltered.
