Winery Review: As for their other values, the 2010 Grand Veneur Cotes du Rhone Reserve (70% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 10% Cinsault) displays loads of ripe flavors. It is very concentrated for a Cotes du Rhone, and is actually an amazing wine. Classic garrigue, black cherry liqueur, lavender, licorice and spice box are all present in this fullbodied, intense, and rich Cotes du Rhone. This is a sensational effort to drink over the next 4-5 years, although it might last even longer.- Vintage Cellar Tasting
NotesMy Review: I wasn't a huge fan of this boxed wine. It just seemed pretty flavorless to me and flat. There wasn't really anything interesting about it and it wasn't giving me that kick that I was looking for. It was ripe in flavor with the variety of berries that I picked up and was sweeter than I expected it to be.
