Tasted out of bottle, the 2012 Cote Rotie la Chatillonne Cote Blonde (which incorporates 12% Viognier) is a downright sexy, layered beauty that offers tons of toasted spices, cured meats, olive and ripe dark fruit aromas and flavors. Made in a medium to full-bodied style that's already impossible to resist, drink this outstanding 2012 over the coming decade or so. Drink Date 2016 - 2026
