Wine Flash: 2012 Saint Cosme cotes du Rhone (France)

Hi all, here's just a quick snapshot of what I've been drinking lately. It's a 2012-vintage Cotes-du-Rhone from French winery Saint Cosme. I've had this numerous times before and have always really enjoyed the vintage - it's got pleasing dark berry tastes (think blackberries or currant) with a surprising levity. It's solid and bright but still earthy and strong, and can stand up to hearty Italian meals. I like serving it with steak or starch dishes - you can't go wrong pairing this with a big bowl of sauced pasta and a side of basil, tomatoes and mozzarella.
