| Community Tasting Notes (average 83.5 pts. and median of 87 pts. in 7 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by rednick@internode.on.net on 4/2/2016: Red fruits, some spice and cola on the nose - tannins are supple and fruit has a pleasing medium weight, pepper, spice and and fleshy mascerated cherry -good and I would say 2- 3 years before this hits peak (756 views) | | | Tasted by Sambotron2000 on 9/4/2014 & rated 86 points: Good bottle (have had a couple bad ones ). Very light. Cherry notes all through, light bitter tannin / stalk. Enjoyable. (1417 views) | | | Tasted by Sambotron2000 on 7/17/2014 & rated 75 points: Disappointed. Typical rhone nose, albeit with less pose than normal. Wine flat on the palate - just not much happening there at all. Have had better wines from this producer - this vintage is a let down. (1208 views) | | | Tasted by Sambotron2000 on 6/9/2014 & rated 88 points: Interesting wine. Perhaps too much whole bunch for my liking - not enough fruit presence but o doubt others will love it because of this. 2nd day - had really opened up and was far more balanced and drinkable. - in fact really enjoyable. Suggest vigorous decant before serving. (1124 views) | | | Tasted by RickyT12 on 6/16/2013 & rated 72 points: YUCK! Super young, but still I thought it was Not Good and not much potential in the future. Grenache was crushing all the other grapes strong not good raisin flavors. Trying to be classy but it seemed like a mess. Nail polish flavors coming through. I am a major Pass on this train-wreck. (1611 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.
