The Stronghold

Château Saint-Roch

Chimères Cotes du Roussillon Villages Grenache Blend 2013

100+ year old vines from the foot of Château de Quéribus, the last Cathar stronghold, and probably the most epic looking castle ever (seriously, look at it, google images...). Jeb Dunnuck scored less than ten 2013 Chateauneuf du Papes higher than this, and for good reason. This is what I imagine strawberry shortcake would taste like if you were some how able to commission Pierre Hermé to pull one together on-the-fly for you. Hedonistic and raw, but with rounded edges. Just as you think you've wrapped your head around it, it turns a corner and unveils something new. True to Roussillon, hedonistic, honest, better than any Cotes du Rhone I've ever tasted, and at less than $20, it's simply one of greatest values possible in all wine. — 9 years ago

@Shawn G. Rose I'm just guessing here, but I would doubt many, if any, of the Delectable's retail partners can ship to Texas. The TABC has the state on lockdown. Louisiana is more lax, but there are plenty of retailers who don't ship to LA. Unlike Texas, I think it's just a matter of paying the fee to the state for the license. And I think some retailers just make the business decision not to. There's probably more nuance to the law, but any further research will have me pulling a cork much to early today.

@Isaac Pirolo pull the cork, do it and of course post it! Your right, the laws are super crazy.

Intriguing wine, unsure whether it was just poorly stored our if the oxidative style was intended. Reminiscent of old Bordeaux, despite its lack of Semillon. — 10 years ago
