 Tasted by beatles on 4/2/2019 & rated 89 points: A bottle brought home from France - and this is surprisingly developed; very rich, very sauvage with just hints of heat - would never have guessed 2014 here. The best wine of the night, them that's not saying much. Drink up, IMHO

 Tasted by Zweder on 2/8/2017 & rated 88 points: Monthly Tasting Group HWS #116; Rhône; small appellations. (@ My place by WW): 60% Syrah, 20% Grenache and 20% other varietals. In the bouquet herbs and brett (Which was gone after enough air time.), cherries and red berries, earth and some green impressions. On the palate a start with cherries and spices like pepper. Also laurel, oak and minerals. Mild acidity and tannin and ok bitterness. Very tasty wine. 87 - 88 (1312 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.
