Winery review: As for thier other values, the 2010 Grand Veneur Cotes du Rhone Reserve (70% Grenache, 20% Syrah, and 10% Cinsault) displays loads of ripe flavors. It is very concentrated for a Cotes du Rhone, and is actually an amazing wine. Classic garrigue, black cherry liqueur, lavender, licorice and spice box are all present in this full-bodied, intense, and rich Cotes du Rhone. this is a sensational effort to drink over the next 4-5 years, although it might last even longer.

My review:This red wine was a very dark redish black wine in color. It smelled like chocolate covered cherries. It was a very sweet chocolate smell, almost like a white chocolate. It tasted very dry but was smooth. It was not super heavy in texture. I am curious as what this would taste like with food.
