2007 Domaine Les Grands Bois Cotes du Rhone Cuvee Trois Soeurs

The second wine I've had from Domaine les Grands Bois was the 2007 Cotes du Rhone Cuvee Trois Soeurs. This wine is another from the great 2007 Southern Rhone vintage, and was a great value. It's not quite as complex as the first offering I had from Grands Bois, but is a winner nonetheless. It's a more straightforward easy-drinking Cotes du Rhone, made from mainly Grenache along with some Syrah and Carignan.

I had this wine over two nights, and it did offer up a little more on the second night, but it wasn't remarkably different, offering lots of dark fruits typical of a Grenache/Syrah blend. Overall, it's another great value choice from the 2007 vintage and a wine I'd certainly look to drink again.
