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?
