Very nice but it was a little hot. Got a bit better with air. Good fruit but not a whole lot else going on (884 views) | | | Tasted by JohanPe on 7/28/2015 & rated 87 points: Fruit driven wine without depth and layers. Vanilla, sweet fruit and hints of liquorice, coffee and chocolate. Well made blend where you can sense all the ingredients if you concentrate and look beyond the drinkability. (1310 views) | | | Tasted by Lilja on 4/18/2015 & rated 86 points: Very fruity nose with a little bit of every grape in the blend. There is some very ripe Grenache fruit, plums and herbs as well as some Syrah pepper and a little Cabernet/merlot dust and ceder wood. Quite nice, but without any real depth. Smells slightly cheap to put it bluntly.
There is some oak, wood, junipers and liquorice as well.
Low to medium acidity with lots of fruitiness. A slight bitterness and some burning alcohol. Full bodied, medium intensity and a medium(-) finish.
Not impressed. There is not enough stuffing for the oak, and it feels woody and dry on the finish.

| Domaine de la Janasse Producer website | Producer page on Importer websiteRed 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.
