title: Thornton 1999 Cote Red Red (South Coast)
description: Fruity, dusty and earthy aromas are gentle, clean and inviting. But the wine turns syrupy and saccharine-sweet, and soft and flabby to boot. You wonder what you could possibly pair this with at the table. A Rhône-style blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah and Cinsault. —S.H.
