Awards and Accolades	87 Points, The Wine Advocate #191, October 2010 'The 2009 Cotes du Ventoux is another serious bargain. Sixty percent Syrah, 20% Grenache, and 10% Mourvedre, the wine offers loads of herbs, red and black fruits, spice box, and pepper. It is soft, round, and ideal for drinking over the next several years.' Jamie Goode, The Sunday Express, 1st July 2012 Fresh, lively and a bit peppery, this vividly fruited red has bags of personality. It’s not heavy, and would be a versatile match for a range of beetroot-based dishes.
