Jeb Dunnuck Review
Rated 94-96
I loved the 2020 Cote Rotie, which is certainly the standout from the North. Coming from both the southern and northern ends of the appellation, it's full-bodied, ripe, and textured, yet never loses a sense of Cote Rotie elegance. Lots of bacon fat, exotic flowers (I wrote liquid violet in my notes), and gamey blue fruits define the nose, and the balance is spot on, it has silky tannins and is just another brilliant wine.
Wine Tasting Notes
On the palate, Saint Cosme Cote Rotie Rouge reveals a fresh attack followed by an ample, structured, long-lasting finish. The wine unfurls in successive stages and ends with top-quality tannins produced by whole cluster fermentation. It features aromas and flavors of smoked ham, violet, graphite, graphite, and licorice.
Food Pairing
Syrah, with its deep flavors and firm tannins, is a natural match for grilled or smoked meat and dishes featuring herbs, roasted mushrooms, and onions. Seared venison or beef with black pepper and thyme or a Moroccan tagine of pigeon or chicken are complimented by the spicy characteristic of Syrah.
