Deep crimson. Seems a bit expensive for a wine with a rather dry, sudden finish. (JR)

Easily the most impressive of the Famille Perrin releases is the 2014 Côtes du Rhône Village Vinsobres les Hauts de Julien. A co-fermented blend of Syrah and Grenache that comes from high elevation plots, it has killer notes of black and blue fruits, violets, cracked pepper and wet rock. Medium to full-bodied, elegant, seamless and silky, it’s a high class southern Rhône that has one foot in the northern Rhône.
About the producer
This Châteauneuf-du-Pape estate is one of the Rhône’s most famous addresses. With a history stretching back to the 16th century, Beaucastel remains family owned and run, with the fifth generation of the Perrin family – Marc, Pierre, Thomas, Cécile, Charles, Matthieu and César – at the helm today.
