title: Tardieu-Laurent 2008 Rasteau Vieilles Vignes Red (Côtes du Rhône Villages)
description: The oak is prominent on this wine, giving a high-glass sheen of toasted coconut and vanilla to the otherwise modest fruit. There's enough weight and richness to stand up to the wood, but just barely, while the texture is creamy and lush throughout. Drink now.
variety: Rhône-style Red Blend
