2006 Perrin & Fils Côtes du Rhône Villages Vinsobres Les Cornuds- France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Côtes du Rhône Villages Vinsobres (2/20/2009)
With the combination of brett, stony terroir, dark fruits, black olives, leather and nice mouthfeel, this is, oddly enough, a ringer for a slightly aged Bordeaux or older CA cab. No clue how, with its classic combination of Syrah and Grenache, but I really enjoy it nonetheless. It doesn’t have the complexity of the aforementioned wines, but it is really brilliant, particularly for the price. I will definitely head out to get more.
I agree on the quality of the wine and actually had a bottle last night with pizza. As for beating out the Cosme CdR…different strokes for different folks.
