There are very few Cotes du Rhone wines that give me as much pleasure as this Domaine du Grand Prieur, which usually sells for less than $10 a bottle. The color is deep and dark. The Syrah in the blend probably deepens the color, but the aromas and flavors have all of the forward charm of ripe Grenache--strawberries, peppercorn, spice and flowers. Also some dark cherries. Very fragrant. Ripe and friendly in the mouth, but not at all jammy. Has a nice peppery touch on the finish. Probably at its best but showing no signs of losing its appeal.
