2007 Goats do Roam 11/17/2009
![]() So I picked up this bottle at a county (Montgomery) run liquor store for under $9. As a linguist and a fan of Côtes du Rhone wine I appreciated the pun and bought the wine. Later, with my aunt dishing up some of her arugula, orange, onion, and walnut salad, and myself ladeling out pumpkin and mango soup, I unscrewed the cap and poured out some of my new favorite wine from South Africa. The nose carries some barnyard-earthy stink, which integrates nicely with some dark fruit and spice aromas. The wine is medium bodied, spicy, and has a pomegranate-like tart finish. Any fan of Rhone reds needs to try this wine. I'll rate it a solid B with 87 points. And for the Rhone fans: What are your favorite wines from the Rhone valley?
