Juicy, with strawberry and blackberry compote, and red-pink flowers. Medium-full body, alcohol shows but doesn’t feel 15%. M to M+ acid and that juicy red character make this pretty and help it feel relatively fresh despite the abv. This isn’t going downhill anytime soon but the best thing going for it is the immediacy, I wouldn’t think this has much if any upside.
Average value, with half a degree less alcohol would be above average and maybe a rebuy, as I like its personality otherwise. 5.8/10

No notes, lots of dark fruits and really typical for what you want in a CdR for casual drinking, some garrigue, soft tannins, fairly lush, but not gloppy. This is very good and excellent QPR sub-$15 USD ($12). 85% Grenache / 15% Syrah. 15% abv and you can sense that warmth, but there's not overt alcohol in the nose.

Still very drinkable. Fruit forward with some spice. Long finish. Pairs well with spicy foods.

Light with pleasant red berries.
Lovely slightly chilled.
Goes better on it's own than with heavy meat.

Lighter than expected. Plum notes, liquorice? Shorter finish compared to other CdR’s. Good. Solid B to B+.
