The Coteaux Du Tricastin appellation in situated in the south of France's Rhone region. Many varietals are grown there, and I'm not adept enough to discern which one dominates this wine. Either way, I wasn't very happy with this bottle as it's flavor profile was dominated by earthy tobacco flavors (Jenny described it as "dusty" and "rustic"). The small amount of fruit flavors present were very dark, running dangerously close to bitter. $12 at McCarthy and Schiering. I won't buy more.

I've been told wines don't always travel very well. We visited Domaine de La Montine on our way back from Monpellier and the wines tasted great! Maybe drinking in the hot weather helped!
