Koudiat Cotes du Rhone 2020
Vinification: Terroir of red clay and pebbles. 50-year-old vines. Fermentation at cold temperature and aging in steel tanks.
James Suckling: “Vibrant nose of pomegranates, wild blueberries, raspberries, lemon zest and violets. It’s medium-bodied with silky tannins. Juicy, fresh and delicious with a touch of pepper on the finish. 70% Grenache and 30% Syrah, drink now.”
International Wine Report: The 2020 Koudiat Cotes du Rhone offers fresh aromas of raspberries and plums with nuances of lavender, wild herbs and minerals all coming together beautifully. The palate is medium-bodied and well-structured, with notable acidity that persists all the way through the finish. This is already very accessible and should continue to drink fantastic over the next few years.”
