| Community Tasting Notes (average 86.8 pts. and median of 87 pts. in 9 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by A L P on 11/22/2022: Very aromatic, medium body, ruby. Soft with ripe fruit (blackberry? Black cherry?). No garrigue, alas. Should probably drink the other two bottles soon. (165 views) | | | Tasted by A L P on 3/12/2021: Soft and delicious for last two years. (176 views) | | | Tasted by NZ wino on 5/9/2019 & rated 85 points: Supposedly an entry level wine - $22 - lovely rich bouquet, very soft tannins, rich and concentrated. A very pleasant mid week wine. (421 views) | | | Tasted by A L P on 3/7/2018 & rated 86 points: This wine still seemed very harsh -- especially as compared to the 2008, which was delicious. Hoping it just needs age. (415 views) | | | Tasted by CLL on 1/15/2018 & rated 87 points: Rating transferred from Vivino in Jan 2021 and translated to 100 point scale. (155 views) | | | Tasted by snooth_swattie on 10/22/2016: Pleasant drinking while studying. (636 views) | | | Tasted by wgmccallum on 11/12/2015 & rated 87 points: Clear ruby. Very light nose with berry and earth notes. Great structure on the palate, clear framing acids, a measured dose of fruit, focused tannin core, long but lean finish. A perfect complement to stir fried steak, onions, ginger and garlic with hoisin sauce. 50 + 14 + 16 + 7. (735 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.
