Domaine Lafond Cotes Du Rhone 2010 (about $18)







About the Wine:  The classic Rhone blend uses Grenache and Syrah to make a wine that is smooth, yet spicy and full bodied.

About THIS Wine:  The center is purple with a violet rim.  Jammy dark fruit is heavy on the nose with hints of green pepper.  The fruit delivers in a heavy, syrupy palate with a spicy finish.

Drinking This Wine:  Rhone blends are a standard wine to pair with barbecue and ground meats.  This one is no exception.

Overall Impression:  Eighteen dollars is fairly high for Rhone blend, but this wine is very good.  It is reasonable for the price.
