For some reason, no matter the vintage, Saint Cosme produces a serious Cotes du Rhone that leaves most of its competitors in the dust. There's just more "there" there. All the classic aromas are present (black plums, fresh garden herbs, etc.) but the concentration of flavors are what really sets this wine apart.
It's a great fall and winter season red to enjoy with savory dishes and game meats.
Wine Spectator: 90 Points
A hefty version of Côtes du Rhône, with a lot of stuffing, showing ripe black plum and black currant flavors layered with black pepper and grilled rosemary. Sturdy tannins hem in the creamy palate, with a kick of bitter mineral and graphite through the medium-length finish. Very solid.
