A good effort for the vintage is Colombo’s 2004 Cote Rotie La Divine, which has about 12-15% Viognier co-fermented with the Syrah. The wine has a dark ruby color, a sweet nose of spring flowers and ripe black cherry fruit, some austere tannins (vintage character), yet good ripeness, medium body, and an elegant purity.
The well-known consulting oenologist in the Rhone Valley, Jean-Luc Colombo, has an ever-expanding negociant business for his wines. With the exception of his three estate wines of Cornas, all of the other wines listed are negociant bottlings. He is a talented winemaker and that is evidenced in his whites.
