The southern French appellation of Cotes du Rhone is the perfect place to find layered and complex wines of consistently good quality. These red blends are often based on the varietals Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedre.

The Perrin 'Nature' is made from organically farmed grapes and delivers aromas of spice, red ripe berries, and pepper. On the palate you'll notice dark red fruit flavors with a long and pleasant finish. Try this wine with Mediterranean dishes, meats, game, and all sorts of cheeses.  $12.99

This wine has become a tried and true favorite here at Amendment XXI. Its spicy dark fruits work perfectly with its robust earthy tone. As the nights get colder, this hearty wine will surely warm you up. The Lirac would pair wonderfully with lamb, osso bucco or rustic beef dishes. "More serious, structured, and meaty is the 2009 Lirac Cuvee Reservee. Fifty percent Grenache, 30% Syrah and the rest Cinsault, Mourvedre and Carignan, this has more earthy, foresty notes, an opaque ruby/purple color, hints of incense, blue and black fruits, medium body and light to moderate tannin in the finish. It is just becoming drinkable yet should age reasonably well for 5-7 years. The new releases from proprietor Henri de Lanzac are all impressive."- Robert Parker 88 pts $19.99

“Lively and focused, with a beam of red licorice running through the core of red and black cherry fruit. Polished structure and a lingering apple wood note provide length. Drink now through 2012. 1,800 cases imported.”
