Domaine Cabirau Cotes De Roussillon 2013 (750ML)

91 WA

I loved the 2013 C«tes du Roussillon from Domaine Cabirau. A blend of 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 10% Carignan that was aged mostly in tank, it offers a voluptuous, sexy personality to go with lots of kirsch and black raspberry fruit, savory herbs, pepper and dried earth. This medium to full-bodied, complex, elegant red has a core of sweet fruit, fine tannin and a great texture, all of which come together nicely on the finish. Its already hard to resist, and I see no reason to delay gratification. These blockbuster efforts are made by Dan Kravitz at the coop in Tautavel. They more than over-deliver and offer classic Roussillon flair and texture, yet back it up with solid mid-palate concentration and sound structure. Don't miss them.

A juicy red, packed with crushed plum and blackberry flavors. Sweet spice and gumdrop notes add appeal through the fruity finish. -Wine Spectator
