We can throw around the idea of a classical wine or producer, but there are precious few that are true classics. This is one. If lightly peppered red berries were made of liquid silk, that would be almost as smooth as the palate of this. Aromatically, this is a fresh summer bouquet of florals & herbs. Just a stunner & showstopper. Will go a bit longer, but in an excellent place to enjoy right now. @Matthew Bigby you are a gentleman & a scholar for sharing this. — 8 years ago

This vineyard is amongst the steepest I've walked. Also, has some of the hardest soil one will see but it produces amazing wines. Rene and his son Pierre produce some of the best wines in Rhone. Interesting enough, 100% of his production goes to the US. Lucky us!!!

@David Trumper Hello David. Interesting fact. Are you sure it is 100% though? Because one of the local importers sells this wine too (and I am from Russia). Well, guess you are no less lucky even if you get 99% though ;)

That is what I was told. However, there is no way to know what an importer or reseller might choice to do with his wine once it lands in the U.S..

This rose made from Agiorgitiko is nearly red in color. The nose is quite floral, with jasmine and rose petal. The palate leans much heavier towards expressive ripe fruit. Peach, sour cherry, and strawberry are balanced well with nice acid and heavier tannin. Food is recommended, this is a serious rose. — 8 years ago

Dark cherry and berries, but not overly sweet. Medium structure and light tannins. It paired well with Mediterranean food (grilled lamb, beef and chicken). Will buy again. — 9 years ago
