The 2021 Cote a Cote checks in as nearly equal thirds of Grenache Syrah and Mourvèdre. It's a killer bottle of wine revealing full-bodied richness an expansive layered mouthfeel ripe tannins and a complex bouquet of blackberries savory herbs peppered meats and hints of violets. This concentrated powerful wine stays just about weightless has ultra-fine tannins and a great finish. The élevage here was 14 months in 30% new French oak with 16% in amphora and 18% in concrete and the balance in once-used barrels.
James Suckling: 96 Points
Refined nose with cherries cassis ripe plums herbs and sweet spices. It's full-bodied with creamy tannins. An elegant development on the palate with a velvety texture. The fruit is obvious at the center with a discreet touch of spices and grilled herbs on the mid-palate. Slightly chewy with a focused flavorful developing finish. 37% grenache 32% syrah and 31% mourvedre. Drink or hold.

The 2021 Côte a Côte is a blend of 37% Grenache 32% Syrah and 31% Mourvèdre that combines power and elegance concentration and weightlessness. The glass reveals a deep well of aromas?maraschino cherry blueberry licorice rooibos tea and autumn leaves emerge from the glass and are made even more complex by undertones of earth and spice. The full-bodied palate is plush supple and generous though its chocolaty floral fruit is perfectly ripe. It has a foil of mouthwatering acidity flinty accents and a long very latent finish. It will take several years in bottle to fully unfurl.
