L'Aventure Cote a Cote Estate 2003 Central Coast "One of the sexiest wines in this portfolio is the 2003 Cuvee Cote a Cote, a compelling blend of 34% Grenache, 33% Syrah, and 33% Mourvedre. Its inky/purple color is accompanied by a gloriously heady perfume of acacia flowers, kirsch liqueur, blackberries, and licorice. A chewy display of concentrated red and black fruits interwoven with lavender, licorice, and floral notes emerges from this complex 2003. With decent acidity, fabulous purity, and a multilayered, long finish, it should be even better in 2-3 years, and will keep for more than a decade." R. Parker, 96 pts., 06/05 6 bottles (owc)
