Delas Côtes-du-Ventoux, 2007
The French appellation of Côtes-du-Ventoux sits on the East bank of the Rhône River at the foot of the Ventoux mountain range. This appellation mirrors the climatic conditions and grape varieties of its neighbor, the Côtes-du-Rhone. With vinyards planted in limestone, this Delas Côtes-du-Ventoux is made from Grenache (80%) and Syrah (20%). This lovely wine is fermented, mixed and aged in stainless steel tanks and is completely un-oaked. The color is a deep red with a crimson rim. The nose is predominantly dark red berries with some flowers and lead pencil. This is a fruit forward wine with a rich mouthful of black berries, plum, fig, licorice. This is a medium bodied wine with a great lush expression of dark fruit balanced by a mineral and black pepper coating. This everyday red wine, from the excellent 2007 vintage, can be found in the Seattle area for about $10.
