Perrin et Fils Reserve Cotes du Rhone Rouge 2001
Rhone Red Blends
from Cotes du Rhone, Rhone, France
winemaker's notes:
Jean Pierre and Francois Perrin have taken particular care that this Cotes du Rhone meets their stringent standards of excellence. As proprietors of Chateau de Beaucastel in Chateauneuf-du-Pape, the Perrin family has demonstrated exceptionally high standards for nearly a century.
The Rouge originates from a significant portion of the Perrin's own vineyards, including those at Château Grand Prebois. Produced from 60% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre, and 10% Cinsault, some of which are flash-heated using the same methods as those at Château de Beaucastel, the fruit is rich and jammy with peppery spice, concentration and intensity.

Very nice overall character to this wine. Unassuming and modest, yet very fresh and drinkable. Flavors are not as well balanced as more expensive wines, but its hard to hold this against the wine given its overall pleasant nature and price.
A Customer - Portales, NM
This is a fantastic, yet unassuming Rhone red that is highly drinkable. I found that it had a rather 'milky' quality that was incredibly smooth on the palette, and fruity at the same time. I highly recommend this specific wine for all occasions.
A Customer - Chicago
I find this to be VERY drinkable, fruity and smooth, excellent with grilled meats. Served cool, it's a perfect for a summer afternoon.
