| Community Tasting Notes (average 88.8 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 8 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by olalar on 5/25/2015 & rated 89 points: This has improved a lot since last time. Much better integrated and there is beautiful fruit, minerals and herbs. Medium long finish and a smile on the face. (998 views) | | | Tasted by Carolus81 on 1/27/2014 & rated 89 points: Fin ganska mörk doft som öppnar upp sig fint under kvällen. Lite kirch och örter. I munnen är det mörkt grenachefruktigt och medelfylligt. Läskande syror och mineralitet. Lite värme i slutet. En väldigt bra representant för södra rhone som är något elegantare än genomsnittet i den här prisklassen. (1726 views) | | | Tasted by Magners on 12/27/2013 & rated 90 points: Almost Burgundian on the nose with sweet raspberries, roses, violet candy and oriental spices. On the palate the wine is a little more powerful, still superbly elegant and balanced (especially the alcohol). Great acidity and ripe tannins gives the rich fruit and minerality a good push through the long finish. Drink now or cellar. I would absolutely buy this again. (1502 views) | | | Tasted by Frommen on 12/2/2013 & rated 89 points: Clear crisp texture. Good fruit, perhaps flirting a bit with oxidization but keeps it on the "right" side of the fence. Good stuff with great purity (1628 views) |

On CellarTracker, Red Rhone Blend is the term for a wine consisting of two or more of the traditional 13 Southern Rhone grape varieties. Typically it's the Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre or Cinsault grapes, but can also contain the Muscardin, Counoise, Clairette, Bourboulenc, Picpoul, Roussanne, Terret Noir, Picardan or Vaccarese grapes.
A 'food' wine. Lacking pretension and intended for local consumption with local cuisine. Lacks the 'high' notes on a Bordeaux, more earthy and sharper so often a better partner to meat dishes with a sauce.
