Another promising effort is the saturated blue/purple-colored 2006 Cotes du Rhone-Villages Rasteau Vieilles Vignes. A combination of 70% Grenache, 25% Syrah, and 5% Mourvedre, this monster wine boasts huge body, extract, tannin, and power. It demands 3-4 years of bottle age, and should keep for 10-15 years thereafter. I can’t speak highly enough of the job that Patrick Lesec does as a negociant, putting together interesting and high quality blends of Cotes du Rhones and Chateauneuf du Papes.A Patrick Lesec Selection, agent for the US market: Chemin des Vins, Sherborn, MA; tel.
