I am a big fan of Cotes du Rhone wines from France. On my last visit to Trader Joe's, I specifically looked at their selection of Cotes du Rhone wines and selected the Valreas Cotes du Rhone Villages. I read the labels and selected this because it was from one of the 18 Villages and had 14% alcohol.
I know you can find reviews online which praise this wine, but I do not agree. The best I can say is that this wine is definitely drinkable and only costs $5.99. Beyond that, I can say that the wine is acidic, dry and somewhat spicy. I think that I have been spoiled by the delicious Kirkland Signature Cotes du Rhone ( see my blog from September 2016 ) and this is not nearly as good.
SC Wine Joe rating = 86 points
