It is a Tuesday night in April and we have had our cocktail. Tom opened this Beaumont Des Gras Cotes Du Rhone 2006 from France for our dinner. I can’t remember where we purchased this wine or whether we received this as a shipment in a wine club, but it is an excellent wine. I started ‘mmm-mmmm-ing” as soon as I took in the bouquet and certainly after I had my first sip.
This wine is a lovely red color with a very pleasant nose. On the palate is a burst of berries and spice. The tannins are evident and the finish is dry and satisfying. I appreciate the lack of fruit forward presentation — this is a more austere and crisp old-world wine. Absolutely delicious.

Hey,
I would love o find out where we can get more of this wine. I have searched the internet and not found anywhere or how much this sells for. I bought it for my parents in a wine of the month club and they absolutely love it.

I was happy to see your comment on this wine as I just recieved it as a gift and cannot find much information on it! Once I drink it I don’t even know if I’ll be able to purchase again but at least I know someone else has experienced it!
