"The 2001 Cotes du Rhone Les Violettes (a blend of 80% Syrah, 10% Viognier, and 10% Roussanne) reveals a wickedly kinky, exotic nose of flowers, honeysuckle, and black fruits. Full-bodied, unctuously-textured, and made in a southern Cote Rotie-like style, it is a singular effort for this sector of the Rhone. Enjoy it over the next decade."
