Bila-Haut 2008

This week’s selection:
Winery : M. Chapoutier - Les Vignes De Bila-Haut
Varietal: Grenache, Syrah and Carignan
Price Paid: $11.99
Vintage: 2008
Area: Roussillon - France
Alcohol: 13.5%
Purchased: Wine Buy’s

Overall: Good Grenache blend and well worth the $11.99 price. It was best the 1st day and very enjoyable, lost something the 2nd day and by the 3rd well… I highly recommend you try this just don't keep it hanging around too long.

Reviews

#75 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2009
Critical Acclaim:
"A muscular red, with concentrated flavors of dark cherry, plum, raspberry tart and grilled fig. The dense finish of dark chocolate is firm and focused, with smoky notes. Best from 2010 through 2014. 15,000 cases made."
