Thought I'd better get this one in to you guys who posted above--another $10 gem I recently discovered for the shop.
The raisin/pepper combo is there, as it should be, but what is striking about this wine is its unblemished balance. Rounded yet firm, full yet delicate, alcohol is up yet so much flavor subdues it, finish seems to go on until you fall asleep that night...

Foodie, are you talking about Rabasse Charavin? They make several cuvees.
- Thomas - 01-19-2002
Sorry, Bucko, I left off the Charavin--that's the one.
- Bucko - 01-19-2002
Any particular cuvee, or is it just plain CdR?
- Thomas - 01-20-2002
It's a Corrinne Coutourie CDR

Man, this is just like pulling teeth.......... [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/biggrin.gif[/img]
There are some bottles of Rabasse-Charavin in our area, the Cairanne, Rasteau and Cairanne Cuvee Estevenas cuvees.

ouch! I think you hit a nerve.
That's it; nothing else to tell; Cotes du Rhone; the producer is "...Recoltant Cairanne, Vacleuse, France"; end of story; no cuvee listed other than the designation I list above; finished; finito; finis.
Now, take out the cotton, I will spit and go home. You can send me the bill.
