One of the most reliable wines in the portfolio is always the Cotes du Rhone in this case the 2004 Guy Louis, an equal part blend of Syrah and Grenache (the Syrah is aged in new oak and the Grenache in old). The wine has a deep purple color and a big, sweet nose of blackberries and cherries intermixed with some smoke, herbs, and earth. It is medium-bodied, ripe, and generous. It should drink well for 5-6 years.

The 5,200 case cuvee of 2001 Juveniles is a blend of 60% Grenache, 20% Mataro (Mourvedre), and 20% Shiraz aged completely in tank. This fruit-bomb exhibits copious quantities of raspberry, cherry, and blackberry fruit, along with hints of Asian spices and Acacia flowers. Sweet and expansive (from concentration, not sugar), succulent, fleshy, and hedonistic, this sexy, fruit-driven, New World red will drink well for 5-6 years, possibly longer.
