  Cotes Catalanes continues to maintain a place in my cellar. Lovely wine with a great qpr! Easy to like.

  Beggar’s chicken dinner. Dark ruby color. Deep nose of black fruits and cardboard, opening up to liquorice and tobacco and spices. Dry, high acidity, medium tannins, pronounced taste of tart black fruit, chocolate, hint of pepper. Medium full body and finish. Very good balance Nothing too complex on the palate but a very good table wine.

  Very nice. Opened it thinking of chicken but we switch to beef stew. Light body but flavor, black cherry, minerality, nice tannins, light nose. Easy week night drink. Buy this again.

  Now this at half the price is at least twice as good as the Cab I had a couple of days ago.
  
  Clear, pale to medium purple in color. Clean nose, medium intensity. Notes of blueberry, blackberry, along with some floral note of violet and also a light herbal undertone of lavender. A bit of spide, nutmeg. On the palate, it is dry and medium bodied with enough fruit to feel sweet at the core but balanced with medium acidity and soft rounded tannins and the finish is of medium length. Definitely a great value worth searching for.
