This fantastic red Cotes du Rhone is imported by Michael Skurnick for Daniel Johnnes Selections. Daniel Johnnes is one of the top sommeliers in the U.S. and he has a great portfolio of wines. In addition, the '09 vintage appears to be a great one in southern France. I'm a big fan of these wines in general and this one (a private label project of Mr. Johnnes) exhibits all that I love about them. Cotes du Rhones are blends comprised of several varietals and for me, the best ones are based on the Grenache grape. The '09 Petit Chapeau gives me a good dose of Grenache pepperiness, wonderful fruit and a touch of earth. It retails at my local store for $9.99. Cheers.
