Does this easy drinking bottle of Glou Glou-style wine come from a commune of natural wine hippies in Ardeche who make sulfur-free wines from wild vines and shun fancy things like electricity? Not quite. Les Vignerons d’Estézargues is in the thick of Cotes du Rhone’s western quarter, and if they happen to be the Rhone Valley’s best known and respected entirely organic cooperative, that is only part of what makes them great. They also make wonderful Cotes du Rhone along classic lines; even featuring and celebrating single family-owned grower bottlings in their lineup rather than blending all the sites together. But for those days when the thermometer creeps up to 30 (or  as we call it: 86), they upend the traditional recipe and make this Carambouille, a ruby red lightning bolt of a wine. Aromas start with the namesake star fruit - or Carambola, for the official english name - strawberry, orange peel, Rainier cherry, and Rhonesque notes of sage and tarragon. The palate is bright and juicy and brimming with prismatic red and orange fruits before gentle sprinkles of garrigue herbs land on the finish. Drink cold when it’s hot outside, with charcuterie, caprese, and margarita pizza.
