Deux Albion

Saint Cosme’s Best Value?

While we love the basic Saint Cosme Cotes du Rhone, Saint Cosme’s “Deux Albion” bottling represents a significant upgrade in the Cotes du Rhone category.  It’s sourced entirely from estate fruit and bears the “Chateau de Saint Cosme” to indicate this.  It’s a brilliant wine, especially in a year like 2016, and absolutely over delivers for the price.

In Stock Now:

“a brilliant Rhone and a killer value”
Chateau de Saint Cosme Cotes du Rhone Les Deux Albion, Rhone 2016 750ML ($24.95) $19 special
Chateau de Saint Cosme Cotes du Rhone Les Deux Albion, Rhone 2016 1.5L ($49.95) $39 special
Grapelive 93 points “Louis Barruol uniquely with the Chateau version of Cotes du Rhone, Les Deux Albions, uses multiple vineyard sites to gain complexity, but still co-ferments all the grapes (together) which includes mainly Syrah, but with a good dose of Grenache, Carignan, Mourvèdre and Clairette.

Kelley Fox Wines ‘Momtazi Vineyard’ Pinot Noir, McMinnville 2016 750ML ($37.95)

$33 pre-arrival special
Grapelive 95+ points “The gorgeously expressive 2016 Momtazi Pinot is spicy, vibrant and perfumed with a beautiful crimson/ruby hue in the glass. As in 2015, Fox notes, this bottling is again 100% whole cluster, and it clearly shows in this wines intensity and tension.

Chateau Montfaucon

Throwback Chateauneuf

While the modern conception of the Southern Rhone is all 15%+ alcohol monsters with lots of new wood, there are still a few holdouts who value an old school style.
