Cotes du Rhone Clos St Antonin 2017 (750ML)

90 Points, Joe Czerwinski, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2017 Cotes du Rhone is 70% Grenache, with the balance a mix of Mourvèdre and Syrah. This wine's fruit has darkened considerably since I tasted it as a barrel sample in June 2019, and while retaining some raspberries, it's now more black cherries and chocolate, with attractive herbal tea shadings. Full-bodied but not weighty or overdone, it's silky in feel, ending long and adding hints of licorice on the finish." 09/20

91-93 Points, Jeb Dunnuck, jebdunnuck.com: "A blend of Grenache with smaller amounts of Syrah and Mourvèdre brought up mostly in concrete tank, the 2017 Côtes Du Rhône is a winner that should be snatched up by readers as it's a beautiful wine that over-delivers. Kirsch, blackberries, garrigue, and flowers incense notes all emerge from this medium-bodied, layered, pure and polished Côtes Du Rhône that displays ripe tannins, beautiful density, and a great finish." 8/19
