 Tasted by kitkat4 on 4/29/2022 & rated 87 points: Very nice and for $14.99 makes a good weekly drinker. Juicy, fruity with a touch of earth and herbs. Not compelling enough, though, that I minded pouring the last glass down the drain. (179 views)
 Tasted by BobbaWA on 9/7/2020 & rated 94 points: Beautiful! Bright red fruit, balanced and lovely. Shared with the friends we traveled with in France a few years ago when we purchased this wine. (370 views)

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.
