3 Rhones

[Drew]

2004 Grange des Rouquette GSM (Vignobles Boudinaud), Vin de Pays d'Oc
Very simple wine, clear ruby, black and red fruits with some earthy hints, not bad but not nice enough for a return visit. 13%Alc/vol. $12

2003 La Font du Vent, "Notre Passion", CDR Villages
A little step up, still clear ruby, black and red fruits with slightly more lushness and spicy raspberry notes with hints of earth, fall leaves and herbs. 13%Alc/vol. $14.

2003 Domaine les Grands Bois, "Cuvee les Trois Soeurs", CDR
This was the best of the three. Clear black/ruby, black and red fruits that display hints of herb de provence, garrigue, truffle and framboise. Medium bodied and moderately oily. Very nice wine for $10, 13.5%Alc/vol.
