According to Robert Parker: "The 2006 Cotes du Ventoux, which is mostly Grenache with small quantities of Syrah and Carignan, is a front-end loaded, fruity wine that is seductive, sensual, and boasts loads of peppery black cherry fruit with some hints of damp earth and spice. It is a bistro-styled red to drink over the next 2-3 years." (10/07) 14%abv.
