The sensational 2003 Cotes du Rhone Rubis is fashioned from an old vineyard situated close by the renowned Beaucastel estate. Primarily destemmed Grenache, it is a ripe, rich offering displaying notes of cherry jam, pepper, licorice, spice box, and herbs. This serious, Provencal-styled juice will drink well for 3-4 years.
