"The deep ruby/purple-tinged, tank-aged 2010 Cotes du Rhone St.-Esprit (70% Syrah and 30% Grenache) offers notes of roasted herbs, black cherries, licorice and pepper. This delicious red represents terrific value."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The blockbuster 2009 Cotes du Rhone-Villages Centenaire tastes more like a Chateauneuf du Pape than a Cotes du Rhone. Dominated by Grenache with a small amount of Syrah included in the blend, the wine possesses great intensity, a terrific texture, full-bodied power, and wonderful purity and..

The 2012 Cotes du Rhone Rose presents with aromas of rose petals, and orange rind and it encompasses a medium body, racy acidity, and a clean, dry finish. A truly wonderful rose from Domaine Charvin.

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Alary’s top cuvee, the 2010 Cotes du Rhone-Villages Cairanne Font d’Estevanas is a blend of equal parts old vine Grenache and Syrah, the latter planted in 1961, grown in the clay/limestone hillsides ... it is a fabulous unfiltered wine offering abundant notes of licorice, truffles, camphor, black..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Another blockbuster is the 2010 Cotes du Rhone-Villages Rasteau Cuvee Marc. Composed of 50% Grenache, 25% Mourvedre and 25% Syrah, this is a fabulous value from an increasingly promising appellation. A sumptuous bouquet of kirsch, licorice, chocolate fudge, blackberries and graphite emerges from..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Vivid purple. Intense dark berry aromas show impressive depth and spiciness. Juicy, tightly focused blackberry and bitter cherry flavors gain sweetness and flesh with air, along with a suave floral quality. Violet and star anise notes linger on the very long, sweet, well-focused finish."
