| Community Tasting Notes (average 87 pts. and median of 87 pts. in 3 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by kampa on 10/18/2020 & rated 87 points: Purple colour. Fruity and fresh without influence of wood. Blackcurrant, blackberries. Medium acidity and tannins. Good with meal. Good QPR. (415 views) | | | Tasted by Zoltán Németi on 1/1/2019 & rated 87 points: This has considerably closed down compared to last May, when it was singing. Still good but offered a lot more enjoyment a year ago. Dark fruited but lively for a Rhone blend, no raisins in sight. Medium-bodied, tastes dry, not fat or bulky, definitely not overripe. I wonder if it will open up again. (570 views) | | | Tasted by JHo_MS on 11/13/2018 & rated 87 points: Delicious. Delightful fruity nose, deep garnet color, well balanced. Worth the $16.

U.S. Importer (add'l info)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.
