A bold, old-vine blend of 93% Grenache and the rest Syrah. Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar says, "Bright purple. Room-filling bouquet of seductive red and dark berry preserves, along with sexy incense and fresh floral qualities. Much fresher than last year's showing, with deep, sweet raspberry and candied blackberry flavors, silky tannins and a brisk, energetic finish. This has remarkable clarity and cling. Built to last but there'd be no crime in drinking it now."

Le Clos du Caillou Châteauneuf-du-Pape Reserve 2010
France
/
Rhône Valley
“A candidate for wine of the vintage…Its inky/purple color is accompanied by notes of blackberries, roasted meats, smoked herbs, ink and incense. Rich, structured and full-bodied, it is another great example of this cuvee, which was first introduced in 1998 (a vintage that is just now becoming fully mature at age 13).”—The Wine Advocate

Le Clos du Caillou Côtes du Rhône Rosé 2010
France
/
Rhône Valley
A delicately pink, Provençal sunset in the glass; this has to be the most balanced and effortlessly pure rosé we've had from Caillou, and it's certainly one of their most elegant and pleasure-driven. Aromas of sweet peaches, pink roses and spring rain show on the captivating nose; the mouth is silky with a blend of jellied raspberries, fresh tangerine rinds and bright cherries. A blend of Mourvèdre, Counoise and Grenache.

“The 2005 Châteauneuf-du-Pape 'Les Quartz' again offers a liqueur of
minerals, has firm tannins, great intensity, and an inky ruby/purple
color to the rim, a wonderfully sweet nose of black raspberries, kirsch,
licorice, with some smoke and a hint of pain grille. This superb wine
has tremendous palate presence and great minerality and definition. Give
it 2-3 years of cellaring and drink it over the following 15 or more
years.” — The Wine Advocate
