Chateau des Tours, Cotes du Rhone Rouge Vintage:2012 Medium bodiedThe 2004 Cotes du Rhone reveals a character similar to the 2005, with wonderful upfront fruit, but is slightly softer. Chateau des Tours is the family estate of Emmanuel Reynaud, the nephew of the late Jacques Reynaud as well as the winemaker at Chateau Rayas since 1997. His Cotes du Rhone and Vacqueyras are two of the best value picks in the southern Rhone. His 2005s are all successful. A blend of 50% Grenache and the rest Counoise and Cinsault
