R.Parker Tasting Note:
The brilliant 2010 Cotes du Rhone-Villages Rasteau La Fontaine is aged in a combination
of tank and 600-liter demi-muids. Off the charts concentration and a bigger than life personality
characterize this inky/purple-colored Rasteau. Notes of truffles, camphor, chocolate, kirsch, blackberries,
roasted meats and bouquet garni emerge from this full-bodied, multidimensional effort. It is one
of the finest Rasteaus I tasted on my tour through the southern Rhone Valley.  Bravo!!
Drink now to 2025

Information:
"Indian Summer", without precipitation, gave us the opportunity to harvest extremely healthy grapes
to perfect maturity.  The wines are concentrated, fruity, with good acidity, not unlike the
Solar character vintages 2009 and 2000.  This wine is produced with the parcels within
the Clos a place called "The Stone."

The assembly is composed of four varieties:
90% Grenache, 5% Syrah, 3% Mourvedre and 2% Counoise.

Tasting Note:
This wine has a beautiful deep red color, with hints purple and blue.  Expressive nose with aromas of blackberry,
violet, jam of Acerola Berry (small apple), combined with spices.  The palate is very present, revealing a beautiful
structure with aromas of wild plum sauce, slightly milky notes, with flavors caramel with salted butter. 
This wine is very pleasant to drink now to 2016.

Agreement: Thinly duck with black fruit, sausage brioche apron of sapper, lamb kidneys
deglazed with raspberry vinegar.
