Sometimes, as in this case, the review really does speak for itself. In fact, without being redundant, there isn't much more that I can say about this wine that hasn't already been said in the Wine Advocate review. The one thing that I can say - the quality of wine for the price of $12.99 is fantastic. The 91 Point review is just icing on the cake.
Domaine d'Andezon Cotes du Rhone 2010 - Rated 91 Points by the Wine Advocate
"The classic cuvee, which has long been selected by importer Eric Solomon, is their 2010 Domaine d’Andezon, a blend of 90% Syrah and 10% Grenache. While there are critics of Syrah grown in the southern Rhone, even the cynics agree that the old-vine Syrah from the Gard has a special character to it. This wine comes from 40+-year-old Syrah vines and 60+-year-old Grenache vines, bottled unfined and unfiltered after being aged in both tank and concrete. Dense ruby/purple, with a stunning nose of blackberry liqueur and jus de viande (beef/meat juices), its thrilling, intensely pure, full-bodied mouthfeel, good freshness, and striking floral character all combine for one of the very best bargains in dry red wine that readers are likely to find anywhere in the world. This is super and should continue to drink well for another 3-4 years."
See? What did I tell you? Grab this one while you can, because at this price, I just don't think it's going to last!
Cheers!
