Clearly syrah with its black pepper aromatics, but the fruit is too forward and jammy, and I thought it was some sort of Californian thing with the juiciness so prominent. On the reveal of a $13 bottle, I have to say I'm really impressed at the quality of this.

Total 90+/100 (958 views) | | | Tasted by wlsch on 4/23/2023 & rated 88 points: PnP. Haven't had one of these in ages, but picked one up at $12 to round out a case buy. Dark berries, garrigue and herbs, some pepper and spice. Body is a bit light, medium acid, some tannins in the finish. It smells and tastes like proper CdR, but it is a bit one dimensional. But for $12 before case discount, it's a good, food friendly wine. (1116 views) | | | Tasted by Mondarin on 2/22/2023 & rated 82 points: Paleish Ruby. Rustic and a little bit dirty. Lower flavor intensity and short finish. Some unripe fruits among the red berry profile. Acceptable but not terribly pleasant. (1090 views) | | | Tasted by Colowine on 1/13/2023: Inky ruby. Nose has a nice peppery kick. Dark fruit, good hit of acid, very well-balanced. Simple but very solid qpr for the $12 or so I paid (818 views) | | | Tasted by BoireBio on 11/10/2022: 16/20
Parallèle 45 demeure une valeur sûre…. mais sans surprise ou éclat. Je lui préfère de loin en CdR Class….Hic pour quelques sous de plus…. (826 views) | | | Tasted by Paul852 on 10/8/2022 & rated 87 points: Briefly, this benefits from a few minutes air to get into balance, and then it's a very decent everyday red, pairing well on pizza night.
OK, though not great QPR at ~US$19. (701 views) | | | Tasted by grapenomad on 3/30/2022 & rated 88 points: Deep ruby in the glass. Aromatic, the Grenache really coming out nicely on the nose in forms of violets, plum, raspberry. Bit of Syrah spice in the background. Surprisingly tannic on the palate with a great acidity. Simple little drop, but very well made at this price point. (1075 views) | | | Tasted by FP23 on 12/6/2021 & rated 87 points: 240 (1106 views) | | | Tasted by jane.hannah on 11/20/2021: Fruits rouges mûrs, belle ampleur, tanins présents mais fins, notes mentholées, signature de la Syrah dans l’assemblage.
Côtelettes d’agneau, confit de canard, viandes braisées et pizzas. (878 views) | | | Tasted by jane.hannah on 11/20/2021 & rated 85 points: Assemblage de grenache, syrah et mourvèdre, avec des arômes de fruits noirs, de garrigue et d’épices, et une touche de viande fumée. Très sec et savoureux, avec de la matière, mais sans lourdeur, de la fraîcheur et de légers tanins. (1007 views) | | | Tasted by Cachacier on 10/19/2021: Gutes P/L Verhältnis (956 views) | | | Tasted by bacchus of knockholt on 4/27/2021 & rated 86 points: Dark ruby with hints of ink. Blackberry and blackcurrant, damson and floral notes. To taste it’s got medium body, sappy blackberry flavours and Parma Violets on the finish. (970 views) |

U.S. Importer (?) (Addt'l Info)
Paul Jaboulet Aîné is one of the most prestigious producers in the Rhone, notably in Hermitage and Crozes Hermitage. The earliest record of the Jaboulet family producing wine is from 1834, and the eventual house of Paul Jaboulet Aîné remained in Jaboulet family ownership until 2006. It was then sold to the Frey family, proprieters of Ch La Lagune in Bordeaux, and numerous other vineyards.
Frey obtained the famous brand names such as Hermitage "La Chapelle" and Crozes Hermitage "Domaine de Thalabert", but not all of the vineyards historically used for producing those wines. Notably the vineyard used to produce Crozes Hermitage "Domaine de Thalabert" - a vineyard historically known as Les Grandes Vignes - was split, with part remaining under the control of Philippe & Vincent Jaboulet. Nevertheless Frey succeeded in restoring the reputation of Paul Jaboulet Aîné which had fallen away during the 1990s.
Domaine de Raymond Roure is a 3.5ha Crozes Hermitage vineyard high on the back of the Hermitage hill which Jaboulet acquired in 1996. The red now sells at a premium to Thalabert and is the wine for longer keeping.
Paul Jaboulet Aîné owns parcels of vines in several Rhone appellations both north and south, and produces an extensive range of both estate bottled and négociant wines.Red Rhone Blend Read about the different grapes used to produce red and white Rhone wines
On CellarTracker, Red Rhone Blend is the term for a wine consisting of two or more of the traditional 13 Southern Rhone grape varieties. Typically it's the Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre or Cinsault grapes, but can also contain the Muscardin, Counoise, Clairette, Bourboulenc, Picpoul, Roussanne, Terret Noir, Picardan or Vaccarese grapes.
A 'food' wine. Lacking pretension and intended for local consumption with local cuisine. Lacks the 'high' notes on a Bordeaux, more earthy and sharper so often a better partner to meat dishes with a sauce.
