| Tasted by richardhod on 4/14/2013 & rated 81 points: Pretty basic. Sharp, bitter tannins, thin-ish palate, no nose to speak of. Has dark, tarry fruit, but not very distinctive fruit. Dry, which is at least a bonus, but perhaps a little bell peppery. Definitely the iferior end of someone's vineyards. £5 on offer and at that price I won't buy it again. I've had worse, but it's really not worth drinking. Gluwein time. (3176 views) |

Red Rhone BlendRead about the different grapes used to produce red and white Rhone winesOn 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.
