| Community Tasting Notes (average 88.9 pts. and median of 88 pts. in 10 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by La Cave d'Argent on 2/24/2021 & rated 90 points: Stéphane Vedeau's 2016 La Ferme du Mont Côtes du Rhône Premiere Cote is a deep ruby/red blend of 60% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre that delivers aromas and flavors of dark bramble fruits, bacon, Provençal herbs and peppered steak. Full-bodied, freshly acidic, seamlessly alcoholic (14%) and with very subtle oak, it stays solid on the middle palate and finishes with good length. This will last longer than predicted by the pundits. Drink now-2024. (870 views) | | | Tasted by sjtave on 3/6/2020: Opened, aerated, and enjoyed. DAVEYK39’s notes (especially the most recent) hit home for me. A perfect choice when you just want something tasty to drink without thinking too much about it, but with no compromise in quality. Wouldn’t hesitate to buy again, especially at this price. (1027 views) | | | Tasted by Vintopia on 4/29/2019 & rated 88 points: The 2016 Côtes du Rhône Premiere Cote is made up of 60% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre and exhibits a nose of strawberry, maraschino cherry, violet and spice. Copious amounts of sweet red fruit emerge on the palate alongside fine-grained tannins. This is a fantastic wine for those in search of a bargain ideal for up-front drinking. (1436 views) | | | Tasted by daveyk39 on 3/1/2019 & rated 88 points: 1h air. Medium Purple color. Raspberry, cherry, clove and a hint of dust. Velvet texture, racy acidity, medium-body. Raspberry on entry, clove and a hint of blueberry in the mid-palate and a tart finish, with smooth, but firm tannins. (1357 views) | | | Tasted by daveyk39 on 12/2/2018 & rated 88 points: PNP (60% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre)
Medium ruby color. Raspberry, blueberry, spice box, lavender, pepper and oak. Succulent and fresh, with flavors of blue and red berry on the palate. Firm tannins. (1533 views) | | | Tasted by daveyk39 on 10/12/2018 & rated 90 points: PNP for this blend of 60% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre. Improved in glass so could probably stand a short decant.
Medium/Deep Ruby color. Aromas of plums, red currant, white pepper, mushroom and garrigue. Velvety and concentrated on the palate, with loads of earthy dark berries, hints of blueberry and a savory, rigid finish that goes on for a long time. (1043 views) | | | Tasted by cono_sur on 11/24/2017 & rated 88 points: Medium+ intensity nose is ripe with dark cherry, dark berry, earth, brett, licorice, and raspberry aromas gain complexity with air, introducing kirsch liqueur and coffee aromas. It's medium+ bodied with ripe tannins, nice aroma replays plus some floral notes. Acid are very good and the finish length is good. Drinkable now, but will improve in a few years time. (904 views) |

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.
