2006 Anaba Coriol Red

This is a Côtes de Rhône as if re-imagined by Robert Parker. A classic Rhône blend of grapes but a huge California fruit bomb. Deep, dark fruits layered over gentle earth notes sprinkled with black and white pepper. The finish brings to mind figs, dates and mocha. Great companion to food.
