What would you say to a Cotes du Rhone? Delas Cotes du Rhone, 2000 Saint-Esprit , that is. Cotes du Rhone is in the northern Rhone Valley (shown in green on the map of France to the right) near the area where Chateauneuf du Pape is made. The outstanding Delas Winery is owned by the Louis Roederer family who produces the famed Cristal Champagne. The staff at the Duke had the opportunity to sample this delicious wine and all agreed it was the kind of value that we love to offer. We thought it tasted like a classic Cotes du Rhone with lovely fruit, delicate tannins, a nuance of oak and a lingering finish. It is ideal for serving with hearty dishes and summertime barbeque. Keep in mind that we are talking magnum here. It is a classy, beautiful package as well, with a traditional Rhone crest embossed on the bottle. (Perfect as a hostess gift, too) Both Robert Parker and the Wine Spectator had some very nice things to say. Parker: "This tasty, tank-fermented blend of 80% Syrah and 20% Grenache is the finest generic Cotes du Rhone Delas has yet made. . . Blackberry and cherry fruit notes are presented in a medium-bodied, soft, fruit-driven, velvety-styled 2000." The Spectator: "Attractive. Dark and packed with ripe, sweet black fruit. Full-bodied, offering smooth tannins and texture and a seductive, long finish." Now, let's talk about our terrific price. This wine is a bargain at the regular list price of $24.00 per magnum. The Duke sharpened his pencil and is discounting that to ju st $20.00 for each magnum. Order 6 (the equivalent of a full case of wine) and we will discount it even further to $114.00 (that's just $19.00 per 1.5L bottle). Order yours today! 'Nuff said! Think of fine wine!
