An Endearing Wine for Under $10

Delas Cotes du Ventoux 2011

This "endearing" little wine might just be what the doctor ordered to warm up on a chilly winter's day.

"The uncomplicated, luscious, round, medium-bodied, pure, endearing 2011 Cotes du Ventoux is loaded with strawberry and cherry fruit. It is made primarily from Grenache with some Syrah included in the blend to provide a deeper color as well as more weight.

Over the last 10-15 years, Delas Freres, which had muddled along with no great distinction for many years, has hit full stride under the ownership of the Louis Roederer-Deutz Champagne firm and the management of Jacques Grange, who continues to push the envelope of quality for both the Northern and Southern Rhone selections. The top single vineyard wines are world class in every sense, often flirting with perfection. Moreover, readers should realize this is also an impressive source for value." (Wine Advocate)
