2007    Charvin Le Poutet Cotes de Rhone
The 2007 Southern Rhones have been garnering phenomenal reviews, which naturally have placed them in short supply. Well, here's a chance to pick up a 2007 from a super producer, where the supply is good and you're not breaking the bank. Domaine Charvin has been one of the stars of the Southern Rhone, with both their Chateauneuf-du-Pape and Cotes du Rhone Le Poutet. I tried the Le Poutet a few nights ago and was throughly impressed by the quality. This wine was hard to put down, but frankly it will continue to improve for a couple of years. Review from the Wine Spectator, "Juicy, with nice grip underlying the mix of red and black currant fruit, laced with tobacco, hot stone and garrigue notes. Very lively. WS 90 pts."
