Joseph Phelps Pastiche Red 2001
California, United StatesThe Phelps version of a Côtes du Rhône blend consists of 33 percent grenache, 30 percent mourvèdre, 19 percent syrah, 6 percent merlot, 5 percent carignane, 4 percent cabernet sauvignon and 3 per cent alicante bouschet. Look for a gamey, saddle leather, cherry nose with some leafy, licorice, caraway streaks. Soft, round and supple but dry with crisp acidity. White pepper, black raspberry, gamey licorice flavours. A wine to savour despite the alcohol and will be excellent with a wide variety of food.Tasted: 10 March 2004Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $28.95 | 750ml | Speculative - Winspeer International Group |
