The 2007 Cotes de Tablas is a sensational wine as well as a great bargain. The fact that it is finished with a screw cap may give some consumers the wrong impression but this is a serious mouthfilling red. A blend of 50% Grenache and the balance equal parts Syrah and Counoise it exhibits sweet gamy notes along with plenty of pepper licorice roasted herb blackberry and cassis characteristics a velvety lush texture a full-bodied richness beautifully integrated acidity abundant Provencal typicity and good minerality for a wine of such remarkable flavor depth. Enjoy it over the next 5-6 years.
