| Community Tasting Notes (average 84 pts. and median of 84 pts. in 1 note) - hiding notes with no text | | Tasted by R-T on 1/16/2006 & rated 84 points: After a couple of hours open, it becomes rich and fruity, with a rustic quality, albeit with a weak nose. I like it, and it compares favorably to our 'house' wine - Forest Glen Merlot. (1387 views) |

U.S. Importer (Addt'l Info)Red 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.
