The 2011 Cotes du Rhone-Villages Vinsobres is composed of 65% stainless steel-aged Grenache and 35% Syrah that spends time in 2-year-old oak barrels. This sensational red boasts a dense ruby/purple color along with notes of red cherries, raspberries, truffles, licorice and roasted meats. Harmonious, spicy, seductive and round, with medium to full body as well as terrific purity and freshness, it tips the scales at a whopping 15.5% natural alcohol. Drink it over the next 3-4 years.
These are both sensational offerings from Gerard Constant, who impeccably runs this small estate of just over 20 acres, located approximately 18 miles northeast of Chateauneuf du Pape. The high altitude vineyards are planted on alluvial/limestone soils at a height of 300-400 meters.
