| Community Tasting Notes (average 87.7 pts. and median of 88 pts. in 11 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by justmill on 6/1/2013 & rated 88 points: Musty relatively unpleasant nose. Earth and cherry dominate the early taste, with a pepper finish. Aftertaste of sour cherries initially, that cleared with some time open to the air. (1690 views) | | | Tasted by chanote44 on 4/12/2011 & rated 88 points: This wine has an earthy black cherry, fruit foreward style. It is ripe but not overly so. There is some tartness and medium acidity. It is drinking well now and should probably be consumed in the next year or two. (2728 views) | | | Tasted by fCOT on 12/3/2010 & rated 86 points: lots of black fruits, iron, black olive.good aromatics and texture but a bit short on the mid palate and the finish (2937 views) | | | Tasted by rjonwine@gmail.com on 6/19/2010 & rated 88 points: Dark red violet color; dried berry, tart blackberry, garrigue, lavender, anise nose; tart berry, lavender, oak, pepper, tart plum palate with firm tannins; medium finish (65% Syrah, 35% Grenache) (1500 views) | | | Tasted by Maestro on 3/30/2010 & rated 85 points: OK red blend with the typical style of the Northern Rhone, but with the added spice (and a bit of heat) from the Languedoc Rossullon terroir. Cherries, black pepper, and a bit of licorice on the nose, and a fruit-forward palate drive the experience. Nice but by no means memorable. From now until 2015. (3175 views) |
| Château de Lancyre Producer websiteRed Rhone Blend Read about the different grapes used to produce red and white Rhone wines
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.
