The 100% Grenache Blanc cuvee, the 1998 Cotes du Rhone blanc, is a dry wine, but tastes almost sweet because of the high levels of alcohol, glycerin, and fat, in addition to buttery, peach and acacia-like fruit. Although not for everybody, this thick, mouth-coating white is loaded with glycerin. It should drink well for 2-3 years. Importer: Martine's Wines, Novato, CA; tel. (415) 883-0400
