Mont Redon Cotes du Rhone 2003 – Recommended

Region: Southern Rhone
Appelation: Cotes du Rhone
Producer: Chateau Mont-Redon (negociant)

Fruit is sourced from non-estate growers located in Roquemaure. Lightish blood red in the glass. Nose is fresh and quite lifted with cherry; quite fragrant. Palate continues the attractive lifted note. Darker berry fruits kick in, gets a little gamey, and the rich ripe notes of the Grenache come into play. Wine finishes quite broad and soft, save for a little heat on the back palate. This would compete well with any Aussie GSM in the high teens / low $20’s (paid $24).
