Vignobles David Le Mourre de l’Isle 2009 Côtes de Rhône 14% alcohol about $12.
Let’s start by quoting the marketing materials. “Description : From his family-run winery, winemaker Frédérique David has been producing impressive wines since 1992. His wines show tremendous regional typicity, offering newcomers to Côtes du Rhône a wonderful opportunity to experience the region at an approachable price. Tasting Note : The kosher reds really shine. Vignobles David Le Mourre de l’Isle Côtes du Rhône KP 2009 shows affordable chocolate/black cherry elegance. Score – 89+. (Gordon Stimmell, The Toronto Star, Feb. 25, 2011)” And now for my review.
At the first sips this wine was fairly long with good acidity. I didn’t taste the tannins. The tomatoey chicken wings appetizer bought out the drink’s cherries and tobacco and rendered it round. Upon pairing with the barbecued chicken main dish the wine’s acidity stepped up. It was lightly metallic and I tasted some tobacco. With potato salad that contained pickles the liquid sweetened. Its acidity increased and I tasted tannins in the background.
