E. Guigal 2006 Cotes-du-Rhone Red Blend 
The Vineyard: The methods of viticulture are practised with total respect for the environment. Natural methods of combating parasites and disease ensure that the grapes cultivated in the domaine’s vineyards fully express the complexity of the greatest terroirs of Condrieu and the Côte-Rôtie.

Thanks to the meticulous selection of the grapes and the application of the highest standards of quality in the winemaking process, the Condrieu and Côte-Rôtie Brune & Blonde wines of the Guigal estate have become flagships of these two prestigious appellations.

Review

E. Guigal 2006 Cotes-du-Rhone Red Blend

A lovely blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedre, it is a very nice wine for about $15. The rich, fruity nose opens up with cherry, red plum, and blackberry aromas. The palate is silky smooth, with very light tannins, delivering flavors that mirror the nose, building to a highlight of pepper at the finish. Meant to be consumed young, enjoy it with turkey, grilled chicken, or pork chops.
