We've been waiting for years to feature the superb wines of Stéphane Ogier, whose wines have become reference-point bottlings for the northern Rhône, especially Côte-Rôtie. However, his entry level red, the Temps Est Venu cuvée, hails from points south. Its 70% Grenache, 30% Syrah blend is a precise, strawberry-and-pepper-scented delight, substantial enough for hearty fare but lifted with more than adequate acidity. Sustainable viticulture.
