I almost hate to include the following winemaker's notes. Only the most "pretentious" of winos would probably find it useful. However, some of the comments will give you a mental image of what the wine may be like. I have heard very good things about this wine, but actually haven't tried it yet - yet. Give me time ;-) Anyway, with that said, here are the winemaker's notes:

"The style of Chateau Mont-Redon Cotes-du-Rhone is one expressive of its "terroir," and vinified to exhibit deep, clean, intense fruit, soft, balanced tannins and early approachability. Deep violet in color, the wine shows aromas of dark berries and raspberries which are confirmed on the full, succulent palate. These are offset by slight grilled notes and nuances and licorice, which carry into the persistant finish."

Pretty pretentious, right? However, at the same time, read carefully it does give one an idea that this is a full, deep, fruity wine that doesn't take you a few glasses to get used to. Sounds pretty good to me, but I'll let you know. (via wine.com)
