Pierre Henri Morel Signargues Côtes Du Rhône Villages 2010, Ac Bottle
Pierre Henri Morel Signargues Côtes Du Rhône Villages 2010, Ac
Rhône, France
$15.95

sweet scents of brown sugar, violets, black pepper, herbs and spice. Nice creamy body with structured dry tannins. Plenty of rocky minerals to satisfy. Finishes a tad short and sharp.

Where do I start? This wine offers a nice old world funky (manure inspired) nose. The start, again is pleasant smooth and flavorful, but the finish is obnoxiously dry and bitter. My wife pointed out that the finish actually tasted like chewing on an aspirin… and after she did, that’s all I could taste.

Smells like Ricola herbal cough drops, and smoky cherries with vanilla oak & cedar. The palate is medium bodied, with grippy tannins. Nice fruity loganberry finish.

$25.00

Sweet and lemony with zesty acidity to keep itself fresh. An off dry Riesling that marches to the beat of its own drum.

Really impressive tannins and structure for the price. Cherry, tobacco, cassis, smoky vanilla oak, leather, herbs...it's all in there. Niagara Acidity keeps it fresh and balanced.

A classic in my book. Always offers balance and grace with a creamy texture. It's used to be only available at restaurants...great value on sale for 24 bucks.

Amazing QPR - It's soft and smooth, subtle but lush with a caressing finish. Complex and really enjoyable.
