Today we are tasting the 2009 Cave de Roquebrun Chemin des Olivettes Coteaux du Languedoc. Made up of 35% Carignan, 30% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 15% Mourvedre, this is a true Rhone blend but for a fraction of the price for the quality that your getting! Aromas of raspberry, earth and game on the nose. This is big and lush on the palate with flavors of chocolate, black berry and tea. Needs some time to open up.

Today we are trying the 2003 Renwood Old Vine Zinfandel. We don’t get the opportunity to try aged Zin very often so this was very interesting. Notes of cedar, licorice and boysenberry on the nose. This has a very soft palate with a lot of upfront fruit with licorice, plum sauce but goes into some aged notes of menthol and dried cherry. A pleasant change to the just release Zins with the really jammy fruit.
