Vinnut Likes this wine: 88 points
April 28, 2021 - Medium-light salmon pink in color. Full, fragrant & aromatic nose of ripe fruit aromas of strawberries, cherries & a hint of orange peel with overtones of floral notes, some spices & minerals. Light bodied with a good concentration of balanced & smooth textured, crisp, ripe fruit flavors of strawberries, raspberries & citrus notes with some spices & minerals. Lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present & is made for immediate consumption. A blend of 35% Grenache, 28% Carignan, 11% Syrah, 9% Tibouren, 7% Ugni Blanc, 4% Vermentino & 2% Mourvedre. Very good QPR for a enjoyable Summertime quaffer.

(hard to get them all - the type is so small). Thanks for the nice tasting note, now I can point to yours and abbreviate mine ;)
