2008 Saint-Cosme Cotes du Rhone

The 2008 Saint Cosme Cotes du Rhone wine had lots of rich flavor. The aromas started with some metal and cherries with a rich palate of chocolate and cherries.

The chocolate was almost overwhelming as the primary characterisitic taste. This was a nice wine and great for the price but I found it a little too simple and heavy for the varietal.

For $20 or less, the Saint Cosme is a winner for a quality French red wine but I will probably not stock up here given the flood of other quality wines around the world at this price point.
