Guigal Côtes du Rhône 2005
Côtes du Rhône, Rhone Valley, FranceThe CdR may not be the flagship wine at Guigal but it's the money-maker. The 50/50 blend of syrah/grenache comes in a full-bodied package. Winemaker Philippe Guigal is really trying to fine tune this stylish red that mixes dry red floral fruit with pepper, smoked meat and just a hint of chocolate. It finishes long with both power and soft tannins. Definitely pricey but from an excellent vintage. Think grilled meat entrees.Tasted: 13 April 2009Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $23.99 | 750ml | specialty listing |
