June 20th., 2010 - Wine of the Week - 2008 Delas Frères Côtes du Rhône “Esprit”; Rhône Valley, France

delasEspritWeb.jpgThis winery is a consistent source for top-notch Côtes du Rhône and this wine exhibits the special character of the best wines of the 2008 vintage; plenty of elegant ripeness, aroma, flavor, and body without being heavy or alcoholic. This bottling offers lots of peppery, spicy red and black fruit aromas and flavors … in other words classic Rhône profile. The blend is 80% Syrah and 20% Grenache, yielding a wine with great balance, nice structure and a delicious drinkability. Drinking well now this pairs well with grilled foods, lamb sausages, rich garlic accented dishes or just a loaf of crusty bread and cheese.

$12.99 per bottle or $134.50/case $11.04
