A new line of wines from a Rhone producers and one theme that seems to come through in all of them is beautiful color and extraction.
Terres de Molines Cabernet 2007 definitely a cab nose, dark purple, hints of dark fruits but a light finish for what I was expecting
Terres de Molines merlot 2007 again dark coloring, light touch of green veggetal on the nose, non descript but nice...light finish.
Chateau de Nages Reserve Rouge 2008.. mostly grenache, a touch of stink, iodine on the nose, no oak, juicy but uneventful.. a little cherry on the back
Chateau de Nages Villes Vignes Rouge 2007 again with the dark color, juicy on the palate.almost fleshy, long finish...but I was hoping for more I think
Les Piliers Cabernet Sauvignon 2006.. juicy, dark color purple, crayon wax, good body and longish finish... interesting for a cab from non cab known region
Les Piliers Syrah 2007... wine of the day 100% Syrah, earthy and perfume nose, juicy, lush berry fruits, pretty finish.. ordered 3 cases
Chateau de Nages JT Joseph Torres Cuvee 2006 mostly syrah, dark, earth and dark fruits on the palate.. I liked it but for the money I thought the Pilier Syrah showed a whole lot more.
Lou Coucardie Rouge 2006,, would have been wine ofthe day if a little less pricey.. named after the biggest bull in a pen or bullfight.. this is a GSM blend.. not as extracted as the others but lots of power.. earth and cinnamon on the nose, eucalyptus and spice on the palalte... big rich and gritty... very nice
