Chateau Mont Redon Cotes du Rhone Red 2003

Chateau Mont Redon Cotes du Rhone Red 2003

"By the judicious blending of the thirteen grape varieties that are grown at Château Mont-Redon we endeavour to produce wines that combine complexity with ripe fruit and soft tannins." -Ch. Mont Redon.

86 points. Bright ruby red, transparent. Tart cherry, spice and buttery aromas are simple yet quite pleasant.  Here's an easy-drinking light-styled red Cotes du Rhone with cherry flavors in abundance. The mouthfeel and tannins are on the light side for a 2003 Cotes du Rhone, also light on the gravel/mineral, but the flavors are fruity and the finish is smooth and warming. Here is a 2003 which is very ready, and not overly gripping now.

Closure: Genuine cork. (A screw cap would be a plus.)

Price: $13 (Nashville).
