| Community Tasting Notes (average 84 pts. and median of 83 pts. in 8 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Lijmes on 2/13/2013 & rated 82 points: Clear raspberry colour, bright notes of cherry, strong base of french oak with a tinge of peppery spice. Undertones of plum, and sandalwood at medium length. Light on entrance, fleeting body developing a light to medium tannin. Not much character or complexity in transition, finishing off with a slight bitter & short aftertaste. (1986 views) | | | Tasted by Nogov on 6/28/2012 & rated 88 points: Great wine. Loads of fruit on nose followed by a delicate interplay of fruit and stones on tongue. Lingering mineral finish. Great wine at this price. Load up. (2339 views) | | | Tasted by czar33 on 2/1/2012 & rated 81 points: Hum. Pas très convaincant. Amer. Disjoint. Brouillon. (2487 views) | | | Tasted by DuVinMD on 1/29/2012 & rated 82 points: Acheté pour avoir un aperçu du potentiel de 2010, je n'ai pas été impressioné outre mesure de la richesse du millésime -quoiqu'il faut admettre que le vin est très fruité. Le nez est épicé, la bouche est fraîche et fruité, mais le tout est simple et court. (2527 views) | | | Tasted by Blackwatch on 1/1/2012 & rated 84 points: Fruité et généreux (2785 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.
