The 2002 Cote a Cote is a blend of 60% estate Grenache and 40% estate Syrah. Abundant aromas of raspberries and kirsch jump from the glass of this deep ruby-colored 2002. In the mouth, this sexy, full-bodied red is dominated by Grenache with raspberry, kirsch, and licorice flavors powerfully presented. In spite of its lofty alcohol (16%), it seems incredibly fresh and cool-climate-like with a beautiful texture and terrific length. Drink it over the next 7-8 years.
The 2002s were bottled about five weeks before I tasted them, so perhaps some allowance needs to be factored in these tasting notes. However, they are very impressive efforts, even though they may have been slightly closed.
