A real sleeper of the vintage as well as a big-time value is the 2007 Coteaux du Tricastin Chateau des Estubiers, which is produced from old vine Grenache (80%) and Syrah (20%). It possesses a dark ruby/purple color in addition to abundant notes of cassis, black raspberries, licorice, pepper, and incense. Medium-bodied and loaded with fruit, it is the finest example I have ever tasted from this estate. It should drink well for 2-3 years. Michel Chapoutier fashions some terrific low-end wines that sell for a song, and in 2007, they are of exceptionally high quality. The handful of 2008s I tasted also look very good for the vintage. These are sleeper selections, especially his La Ciboise and Estubiers from the Coteaux du Tricastin.Importer: Paterno Imports, Lake Bluff, IL; tel. (847) 604-8900
