Our additional allotment of 240 bottles of the terrific 2009 Rhône By Roger Sabon went quickly, but we have been able to inveigle yet another 120 bottles from Domaine Roger Sabon. This yummy sipper comes in six-bottle cases. We plan to take your orders to the LCBO on Friday, May 6th, or when the latest bottles are gone. This is it, so please order soon to avoid disappointment.
2009 Rhône By Roger Sabon – 14.0% Alc./Vol. $20/$120 case of 6
 Oh boy, what a wine! It is made from 80% Grenache, 10% Syrah and 10% Cinsault and was aged in oak foudres for about five months. It is a bright ruby with pure aromas of raspberries, tobacco, Provençal spices and minerals. It is well-balanced with silky tannins and gobs of fruit flavours – it is almost chewy! It goes perfectly with bistro fare which might help to explain why it is so popular at Le Sélect Bistro. While drinking wonderfully now, I think this is developing into a very, very fine Côtes du Rhône, one that will cellar quite happily for up to a decade. I’m going to add a few more cases to Arthur’s Cellar. Won’t you join me?
Please note that there is a $1 per bottle handing fee included in the above prices.

If you know any fanciers of superb Southern Rhône wine, we would really appreciate it if you would pass this note on to them.
