2018 Rhône By Roger Sabon – 15.0% Alc./Vol. $19.15 the bottle LCBO Product No. 581644
There are 54 bottles of this little gem available at LCBO.com. The 2018 Côtes Du Rhône By Roger Sabon is a forward, charming effort that has loads of black raspberry and blackberry fruits as well as notes of cured meats, spice, and pepper. It has beautiful fruit, medium-bodied, no hard edges, and loads of upfront charm. It's ideal for drinking over the coming 2-4 years. Jeb Dunnuck (8/2019)
Bright cherry and blackberry fruit melds with light savory and lavender notes through the fresh, open-knit finish. Moderate in scale, but showing good energy and persistence. Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault. Drink now. (JM, Web Only-2019) Wine Spectator
Medium to full-bodied, it will go perfectly with grilled meats, barbeques and charcuterie. It is ready to drink now and will hold beautifully for another four to five years. If you are in the Toronto area you can try this fine wine at Le Sélect Bistro.

2017 ‘Les Notes de Louis’ Côtes du Rhône – 15.5% Alc./Vol. $18.05 the bottle
LCBO Product No: 866210
There are 42 bottles remaining at LCBO.com.
This glorious Côte du Rhône is made from almost 100% Grenache - and the Giulianis are very, very talented Grenache growers. This robust beauty is a brilliant ruby colour and exhibits a pronounced, lively nose of raspberries, plums and cherries. In the mouth these persist, accompanied by black currents and hints of pepper and licorice. It is big and wonderfully round and
supple with silky tannins and surprising length. This stunner will go marvellously with savoury tarts and grilled meats, in other words, perfect for the BBQ. While drinking
brilliantly well now (I’d decant a couple of hours before enjoying), it will keep nicel for at least three or four years. This is terrific stuff.
