Patrick Lesec Suzon Beaumes-de-Venise 2011
$14.75

A sleeper of the vintage, the 2011 Cotes du Rhone-Villages Beaumes de Venise Suzon (another blend of equal parts Grenache and Syrah) is a full-bodied, rich, fruity wine that was aged in tank (80%) and barrel (20% of the Syrah). Its deep ruby/purple hue is followed by abundant notes of cassis, blackberries, charcoal and camphor. Drink this beauty over the next 5-6 years. Score - 89-92.
