Rhone, France
Price: $8.95
Vintage Cellar Tasting Notes: "50% Syrah, 40% Grenache, 10% Mourvèdre. 56 Ha grown organically since March 2009 (in conversion). Part of the vineyard is plowed with horses. Average age of the vines : 30 years old. Clear ruby wine with overtones of red berry fruits. Round and supple with smooth aftertaste. A good all round red wine for meat courses, poultry and light cheeses. Best drunk now while fresh with good keeping up to 4 years."
On the nose, this red blend was very floral and rosey which was very appealing. A bit of earthiness came through on the nose as well after a second swirl and sniff. On the palate, it was a bit more tannic than I expected but still allowed the raspberry and blackberry fruitiness to come through.
