Tasting notes
(includes roughly 10% viognier): Bright purple. Aromas of candied dark fruits, cola and woodsmoke, with a spicy overtone. Brighter red fruits appear on the palate, which offers an array of spicy berry flavors, seamless texture and very good energy. Finishes spicy and sweet, with a late note of violet and excellent focus.

The sexiest offering, the 2009 Cote Rotie Champin Le Seigneur exhibits a dense ruby/purple color as well as delicious black raspberry and cherry fruit notes intermixed with cedarwood, forest floor, loamy soil and underbrush notes. This complex, medium to full-bodied, savory, supple-textured wine should be drunk over the next decade. As have most conscientious producers, Gerin has turned in an impressive performance with his four cuvees of 2009 Cote Rotie. Importer: Weygandt-Metzler, Unionville, PA; tel. (610) 486-0800
Dark purple. Sexy blackberry preserve, cherry-cola and violet on the nose, with a slow-building incense quality. Sappy and palate-coating, offering sweet dark fruit flavors and exotic floral pastille notes. Becomes spicier with air and finishes with alluring sweetness, silky tannins and a lingering floral quality.
