One of the wines I had in 2008 that made me fall in love with wine was a Côte du Rhone by JL Chave "Mon Coeur". It's been a long time since I had a Rhone wine, I got this from Kermit Lynch shop in Berkeley, Cali. Nice notes of pepper and spice, gamy, good tannins from Syrah. Another good find from Kermit... Try this with steak that has fat, you will love this wine! — 8 years ago

Ripe fruit, a little funk, tickly acid, faint soft tannins. If not for the bruisy rose color I'd think it was cru Beaujolais — 9 years ago
