Leslee: This is a more serious Cotes du Rhone. Earthy, meaty, bit of leather + spice. (365 views) | | | Tasted by dead puddle on 9/16/2017 & rated 86 points: Nice dark hue. Extracted black fruits, sap, good tannins and a high (uncontrolled for me) amount of alcohol. Acceptable length, obvious fruit core, carignan do the work. The balance on heat will not improve, the tannins will, the rate won't. Keep two years max.
This note is now re-edited after retasting (9/9/2018), perhaps this early taste was reflecting a wine not yet stable, for sure it shows my unexperiment. (821 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.
