Deux Albion

Saint Cosme’s Best Value?

While we love the basic Saint Cosme Cotes du Rhone, Saint Cosme’s “Deux Albion” bottling represents a significant upgrade in the Cotes du Rhone category.  It’s sourced entirely from estate fruit and bears the “Chateau de Saint Cosme” to indicate this.  It’s a brilliant wine, especially in a year like 2016, and absolutely over delivers for the price.

In Stock Now:

“a brilliant Rhone and a killer value”
Chateau de Saint Cosme Cotes du Rhone Les Deux Albion, Rhone 2016 750ML ($24.95) $19 special
Chateau de Saint Cosme Cotes du Rhone Les Deux Albion, Rhone 2016 1.5L ($49.95) $39 special
Grapelive 93 points “Louis Barruol uniquely with the Chateau version of Cotes du Rhone, Les Deux Albions, uses multiple vineyard sites to gain complexity, but still co-ferments all the grapes (together) which includes mainly Syrah, but with a good dose of Grenache, Carignan, Mourvèdre and Clairette.

Big, Powerful, Opulent and Undervalued

The 2015 Cristia Chateauneufs
Looking for big, rich, opulent Chateauneuf du Pape?  Look no further than Domaine Cristia, especially in 2015.  The estate is known for powerful wines made from ancient vines in a style that renders them drinkable young but capable of aging for a long time, as well.  We’re head over heels for the 2015’s, and so is the Wine Spectator, who bestowed some impressive reviews on the two wines that we have in stock now.

Wine Advocate 96 points “The Upper Terrace Vineyard was planted in 2000. Pale to medium ruby-purple in color, the 2016 Pinot Noir The Upper Terrace has a classic nose of warm red cherries and cranberries, sliced blueberries and strawberry jam with notes of cola, cardamom, oolong tea leaves and blue flowers—the nose gives up changing earth, fruit and savory layers every time I go back for another smell.
