A Drinkable Cote

wine recommendationsWe enjoyed Vieux Clocher, 2004 Cote du Rhone Arnoux & Fils. This wine was darkĀ  raspberry in the glass. At first sniff we noted mineral and leather. As for the taste, this wine was subtly spicy, minerally with gentle pepper and green bell pepper. It was on the dry side and we?d surely drink it again. Food friendly, it paired nicely with are grilled rack of lamb, sweet potato au gratin and salad with tarragon vinaigrette, a menu similar to our current menu of the month. Not overly complex, this wine makes for pleasant everyday bottle. We purchased this wine at Costco, and recall that it was in the $12-$16 range.
