2007 Domaine La Garrigue Côtes du Rhône Cuvée Romaine - France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Côtes du Rhône
A perennial overachiever, the 2007 Domaine La Garrigue Côtes du Rhône Cuvée Romaine doesn’t disappoint and offers up a spicy, provencal nose of licorice infused black cherry, leather, spice and garrigue and aromatically, this is more in line with the 2004 than the 2005.  The palate is well above its price point with rich, solid fruit, fresh acidity and ripe, savory, mouth coating tannins on the long finish.  A beautiful wine that’s planted firmly in the south of France… and sells for a song.  Thank you Eric Solomon!
