2012 DOMAINE DE BEAURENARD
RASTEAU ROUGE
$19.99 BTL./$239.88 CASE

Hurry on this one, only 20 cases of the astoundingly brilliant, immensely popular 2012 Rasteau Rouge from famed Chateauneuf-du-Pape producer Domaine de Beaurenard are available. Given the popularity of this full-flavored red Rhone wine they will sell out quickly!!

Receiving as much focus as their prized Chateauneuf wines, Domaine de Beaurenard's Rasteau is a STEAL given the tedious biodynamic and terraced farming that goes into it. Formerly known as Cotes-du-Rhone Villages Rasteau, this village received a well-deserved upgrade to full appellation status in 2009. I flat-out went crazy over this wine from the top-notch 2012 vintage when I visited the Domaine last month and the following are my tasting notes: "Broad aromas. Plum-pepper aspects surround cinnamon, rosemary, black licorice and hot stone minerality. Full-flavored indeed with accelerating and chewy fruit that combines blackberry and strawberry. Beautiful ringing spice, especially on the finish that spreads out on the palate and lingers on and on".
As is always the case, this wine punches well above its weight class and is absolutely delicious right now but can easily age up to its 10th birthday.
