It has plenty of richness and depth, yet offers a bright, clean and crisp finish. It needed plenty of air to show at its best and it\u2019s an age-worthy effort to enjoy anytime over the coming 4-6+ years.<br><br><br><strong>2014 Rotem &amp; Mounir Saouma C\u00f4tes du Rh\u00f4ne Rouge Inopia<br><\/strong>RATING 89<br>The 2014 C\u00f4tes du Rh\u00f4ne Nopia shows the house elegance and freshness, with lots of black cherries, black raspberry, peppery herbs and earth aromas and flavors. Made from a mix of varieties (again, I\u2019m not sure on the blend here) and bottled unfined and unfiltered, this medium-bodied, silky, elegant red is another one that needs a decadent if drinking anytime soon. Drink it through 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2014 Rotem &amp; Mounir Saouma Ch\u00e2teauneuf-Du-Pape Blanc Magis<br><\/strong>RATING 95<br>The 2014 Ch\u00e2teauneuf-Du-Pape Blanc Magis is primarily Grenache Blanc mixed with 10% each of Clairette and Roussanne, and 5% Bourboulenc. Fermented and aged two years in French oak, it was never racked, pumped, fined or filtered. It offers a gorgeous bouquet of white peach, honeysuckle, brioche and wet stone-like nuances. Deep, rich and layered, with beautiful purity and length, it\u2019s another sensational white that\u2019s going to evolve for at least a decade, and I suspect quite a bit longer.<br><br><strong>2014 Rotem &amp; Mounir Saouma Ch\u00e2teauneuf-du-Pape Omnia<br><\/strong>RATING 94<br>The Chambolle-Musigny of the southern Rh\u00f4ne, the 2014 Ch\u00e2teauneuf-Du-Pape Omnia is 80% Grenache and 10% each of Syrah and Mourv\u00e8dre which was fermented with no destemming and aged two years in French oak. It light ruby color is followed by a gorgeous perfume of raspberries, dried rose petals, strawberries, white pepper and just hints of garrigue. Elegant and ethereal, yet with terrific length and depth, it\u2019s a Burgundy lovers Ch\u00e2teauneuf du Pape that\u2019s going to keep for 10-15 years, and that\u2019s saying something for a 2014. Bravo!<br><br><strong>2013 Rotem &amp; Mounir Saouma Ch\u00e2teauneuf-Du-Pape Arioso<br><\/strong>RATING 95<br>Tasting like a Grand Cru from Chambertin, the 2013 Ch\u00e2teauneuf-Du-Pape Arioso is 100% Grenache from the Pignan plateau that spent three years in barrel, on lees, before being bottled unfined and unfiltered. Black cherry, forest floor, spring flowers, damp earth, and spice all flow to a medium-bodied, ethereally textured, seamless 2013 that opens up beautifully with time in the glass. Again, this is unquestionably a Burgundy lover\u2019s Ch\u00e2teauneuf, and it shines more for its nuance, elegance, and complex more so than outright power and richness. With bright, yet integrated acidity and ample, sweet tannin, it\u2019s a sensational 2013 and one of the best from the vintage.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SAOUMA RHONE By Jeb DunnuckThis domaine is owned by Burgundy-based Mounir and Rotem Saouma, and you can certainly find more than passing resemblances to high-class Burgundies in these wines.
