Dear Arthur’s Cellar Wine Club Member:
The lovely 2017 Les Notes de Louis has sold out (the 2018 will arrive soon) but a satisfying quantity of the terrific 2018 Rhône By Roger Sabon remain on LCBO.com. Here’s what a couple of wine pundits have to say about it:
The 2018 Côtes Du Rhône By Roger Sabon is a forward, charming effort that has loads of black raspberry and blackberry fruits as well as notes of cured meats, spice, and pepper. It has beautiful fruit, medium-bodied, no hard edges, and loads of upfront charm. It's ideal for drinking over the coming 2-4 years. (8/2019) Jeb Dunnuck
Bright cherry and blackberry fruit melds with light savory and lavender notes through the fresh, open-knit finish. Moderate in scale, but showing good energy and persistence. Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault. Drink now. (JM, Web Only-2019) Wine Spectator.
Please send me a note if you would like me to order for you (let me know to which LCBO store you would like your wine sent). Order 3 bottles or more and the LCBO will send it to your favourite LCBO store at no charge.

Medium to full-bodied, it will go perfectly with grilled meats, barbeques and charcuterie. It is ready to drink now and will hold beautifully for another four to five years. If you are in the Toronto area you can try this fine wine at Le Sélect Bistro.
