The NV Cotes du Rhone S.M. is thrilling stuff. Made from equal parts Grenache and Syrah and aged half in concrete and half in barrel, it offers a full-bodied, voluptuous and decadent style to go with overflowing notes of plum and darker fruits, licorice and violets. Gorgeous on all counts, it’s a shockingly good Cotes du Rhone to drink over the coming 4-6 years, although I wouldn’t be surprised to see it last even longer. – Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Advocate
