Community Tasting Notes 7

  August 3, 2014 - So this was brought over to my place consume for a gathering...and wasn't. So I am not sure how much this wine is--pretty sure its under $10 (probably around $5). Ok, the person who brought said it was a great bottle of vino...so lets give it a shot!
  
  Popped and poured (after slightly chilling)
  
  Appearance: Light....not Pinot light, but average for a sub $10 wine.
  
  Nose: is actually the best part of this wine--not great, but pleasant. Some blue/red fruit, rhubarb, and a touch of spice. A little alcohol comes across, but not much--just enough to notice it. Smells correct for the varietal. Nose fades after time.
  
  Palate: This is where I would call the wine a 'one trick pony.' Even then, not sure that this would even 'show.' Its thinner and one dimensional. The heat, sugar, and tannins stand out in this wine as separate components. Not well integrated, and on the end of the finish there is a sugary note that is cool in a geeky way (reminds me of Marshmallow Peeps), but really...this wine is a dry red for those with a sweet tooth.
  
  Last Words: One trick pony Grenache--it could be a crowd pleaser or could make a Sangria. However, for me, this 'horse' wouldn't finish in the money.

  November 28, 2013 - Hard to complain about the price (under $6), but not much here. I'm not a fan of grenache, but I didn't really get much varietal notes here. Fairly fruity/sweet. Good for the masses.

  November 1, 2013 - Décent, mais à peine. Sur-extrait.
  
  EDIT: En fait le lendemain il semble un peu plus rond, plus sur le fruit. J'augmente de +1.

  October 29, 2013 - Après une courte aération, se révèle un beau fruité, légèrement épicé. Le vin s'avère simple, rassasiant et il est doté d'une belle équilibre. Bon RQP.
