Rhone Red Blends from Cotes du Rhone, Rhone, France

Jeb Dunnuck – 91 Points

A blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah, the 2020 Côtes du Rhône Villages Sainte Cecile Philippe exhibits a deep purple hue as well as medium to full-bodied aromas and flavors of ripe black cherries, spring flowers, and ground pepper, with a touch of background Syrah meatiness. Nicely textured, balanced, with ripe tannins, and outstanding length, it’s a terrific wine from this producer that can be drunk any time over the coming 5-7 years.

Food Pairing 

Pairs well with lamb.
