A perfect blend of 80% Grenache, 10% Mourvèdre and 10% Syrah from older vines.
“Kirsch liqueur dominates the nose, but one can also find licorice, high-quality cigar tobacco and plenty of raspberry notes. Deep ruby to the rim, this full-bodied wine has stunning concentration, moderate tannins, good definition, and a blockbuster finish. This is a sensational wine that should be at its best between 2008 and 2020.”—The Wine Advocate

Clos du Mont-Olivet Côtes du Rhône Serre de Catin 2009
France
/
Rhône Valley
This gorgeously opulent wine has to be one of the more seductive of the vintage. "This is a beauty, with loads of framboise, kirsch, lavender, and licorice. It is medium-bodied, has unbelievable character and personality already, and because of its precociousness and emerging complexity, will be best drunk over the next 3-4 years."—The Wine Advocate

Clos du Mont-Olivet Côtes du Rhône Varene 2009
France
/
Rhône Valley
Another beautiful Côtes du Rhône and a steal of a deal for its very high quality. Peppery cherry notes mix with plums and bitter chocolate on the nose. A mouthful of ripe, concentrated black fruits, lined with licorice and mocca notes, is gorgeously saturated and very delicious. A blend of 60% Syrah and 40% Grenache; aged in demi-muid and foudre.
