The 1997 Coudoulet rouge is a blend of 30% Mourvedre, 30% Grenache, 20% Syrah, and 20% Cinsault. It displays a deep ruby color, a smoky, roasted herb, licorice, leathery, berry richness, low acidity, and a lush, medium-bodied, heady finish. This advanced, evolved Coudoulet will require drinking over its first 5-6 years of life. Importer: Vineyard Brands, Birmingham, AL; tel. (205) 980-8802
