Lovers of great Northern Rhône wines from the rarified vineyards of Côte Rôtie rejoice! We've locked in a terrific dead ringer from one of the best producers in the game, Domaine Clusel-Roch. While we stock their stunning Côte Rôties starting at $90 and running as high as $155, this "baby Côte Rôtie" captures the essence of these stellar wines at a fraction of the cost. 
The source of the grapes - the Serine clone of Syrah - is a vineyard called Le Plomb, located just over the hill on a western facing slope near the top tier "Vialliere" and "Grandes Places" sites. The vines are a massale selection from these top vineyards.
It exudes classic Côte Rôtie character with red and dark fruit tones, earth tinged stony, smokey, espresso and mocha, all in an accessible easy to drink format. It’s amazingly complex for the price, with crushed berry fruit, soft mouth coating tannins, floral top notes and mineral undertones.
Drink it now and over the next 3-5 years with hearty fare such as game, beef, stews, duck breast, roasted or grilled chicken, steaks or burgers, pork loin or chops, and all kinds of cheeses. In stock now and open to taste all weekend and beyond.  Another amazing, affordable wine that drinks way above its price point - Cheers! Chris
