Another wine I've recently tried from this great Rhone vintage was the 2007 Pierre Usseglio Panorama. This wine is different because it is mainly Merlot in the blend, and thus must be classified as a Vin de Table. It was an intriguing blend, different than anything else I've had from the Rhone recently, but still enjoyable in its own way. it still offered some characteristics of the typical Rhone profile, but then the roundness provided by the Merlot.
I'd still probably prefer a normal Cotes du Rhone, but I still enjoyed this. It is a well-made wine, and certainly fairly priced. For anyone who enjoys Merlot and wants to try something different, I'd certainly recommend it.
