The excellent 2000 Cotes du Rhone Domaine de Pierredon (the largest cuvee at 6,500 cases) is a blend of equal parts Grenache, Mourvedre, and Syrah. The dense ruby/purple color is followed by abundant amounts of unencumbered blackberry and cherry fruit. Drink this delicious, pure, exceptional value over the next 12-18 months.
