Rhone Wines In The Sweet Spot

Of the many excellent vintages from the Rhone Valley, often the sweet spot for pricing can be found in the 90 to 93 point range. This is particularly true when this range is compared against the overall vintage score because it gives an indication of the exceptional standard of quality relative to other producers. Today we're offering a selection of wines in this point range from the past decade, as well as a few library vintages to show just how well these robust wines can age.

Overall Vintage Scores from Wine Spectator and The Wine Advocate:

1999 - 95 WS, 95 WA	1999 - 90 WS, 90 WA
2000 - 88 WS	2000 - 94 WS, 98 WA
2001 - 89 WS, 89 WA	2001 - 94 WS, 96 WA

2006 Gerin, Jean-Michel - Condrieu Coteau de la Loye (90 IWC) $49.00 - "...Spicy citrus and green apple aromas are deepened by floral honey and anise.
