05 Domaine Grand Veneur Côtes du Rhône Villages; Alain Jaume & Fils. ~$25?
Very deep, dark color. Leathery aroma is very noticeable and consistent throughout the swallow. Slight jammy aftertaste; very bold and meaty. Would pair well with a rib-eye or game. The 20% syrah overpowers the 70% grenache and 10% mourvédre. It certainly isn't as tannic as Australian syrah, but bolder than Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Plan on saving for tomorrow to pair with dinner. Note: the vineyard lies next to Chât-du-Pape (S. Rhône)
