Clos du Caillou Bouquet des Garrigues Côtes du Rhône 2011

The 2011 Cotes du Rhone Bouquet des Garrigues comes from this area's red clay soils. A blend of 85% Grenache and the rest Mourvedre and Syrah, it is a ripe, rich, full-bodied effort that is as good, possibly better than some producers' Chateauneuf du Papes. The wine is loaded with scents of Provence, including roasted herbs, smoked meats, kirsch and spice box. Score - 90-92. (Robert Parker Jr., erobertparker.com, Oct. 2012)
