Yes, indeed. A value wine to enjoy any day of the week. Deep fruit, earth, herbs and bramble. Some acid as well. We matched with pork ribs, a decent pair.

Exactly what I would expect from Mr Lynch. Straight forward example that has a good sense of place. Great balance of fruit, acid and depth. Not a wine of scores, rather a precise wine that I would be happy to enjoy any night of the week.

This bottle was better than the 2014 vintage I had about a week before. Perhaps the extra year of aging helped bring out the flavor - classic Cotes du Rhone mix. This one had warmer tones and stronger flavor than the somewhat cool and nondescript 2014.
This is made to be, and tastes like a table wine, not something aspiring to a higher calling. In that sense, it fits the bill. It is comparable to the Perrin Brothers Rhone table wines that are around the same price (actually a few dollars more).

Reticent nose of blackberry, plumb, and occasional pepper. Tart cherry and darker fruit flavors on the palate. Consistently best of the entry kermit blends.

Good, but not as good as other years have been, and not as good as the Janasse CdR we had recently. This one is a little hot. But its flowery and gamey like a good CdR should be, not at alll bad.

Open 24 hours. Solid, sleek black-ruby color. Good legs. Fine kirsch, Provencal herb nose. Very polished in the mouth, with earthy fruit that is a bit reticent though certainly not unattractive, especially considering the bargain $9.95 price. A bit rustic and rough around the edges, it is still a good wine for the price. 4-12-14-7: 87/100.

Earthy dry nose
Tastes of cherries, black berries and faint reglisse
Nice balance of acid on the finish
Easy Sunday night quaff 😊

Hennepin Lake Tasting (Uptown): A small pour at a tasting. Agree with others, simple, you could do a lot worse.

Fresh and appealing nose with a moderate color. Nice and fresh, a light but tannic wine. Everyday red
