For some reason, no matter the vintage, Saint Cosme produces a serious Cotes du Rhone that leaves most of its competitors in the dust. There's just more "there" there. All the classic aromas are present (black plums, fresh garden herbs, etc.) but the concentration of flavors are what really sets this wine apart.
It's a great all-seasons red to enjoy with savory dishes and game meats.
Saint Cosme Description
Saint Cosme Côtes-du-Rhône is produced from 100% Syrah and is from the the stony Villafranchian terraces of the Gard. The vineyards are known for their limestone sand, red clay, and pebbles, which give a freshness and intensity to the Syrah grapes. The wine is partially destemmed, fermented with natural yeasts, and vinified in concrete vats.
Wine Spectator: 90 Points
There's a pure core of fresh blackberry, crunchy plum and violet in this vibrant version, with the subtlest brushing of vanilla. Layers of graphite and fine-grained tannins provide a solid framework. Compact, with savory details emerging toward the solid, medium-bodied finish, which is grounded in salty mineral notes and a waft of alder smoke.
