  Rather disappointingly bitter.

  Retail $15. 80% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 5% Cinsault. The Côtes-du Rhône appellation can be a real crapshoot as the area is huge and there are thousands of producers. I, therefore, look for producers I trust and who make solid wines every year. One of my favorites in the category is Ferraton Père et Fils, and this bottle is why: great fruit (even better on day 2), balanced acidity, and a reasonable price. Yes, there are "better" wines in the Rhône, but they will put a much more serious dent in your bank account. For an everyday pizza/patio wine? This is tough to beat. thedrunkencyclist.com

  Punchy alcohol levels but attractive light on its feet Grenache fruit with what seems to be a minor Syrah note . Two glasses max I suggest .Very good value

  Deep ruby color. Smells like cherries, raspberries, with sweet roses, pepper, oregano and cola notes. Medium-bodied with smooth tannins, chewy texture, moderate acidity. Jammy raspberries and cherries mix well with dried rose petals, black pepper, clove, leather, sweet cola. Fun, accessible and food-friendly, but still showing solid complexity for thee price. Grenache with 10% Syrah, 5% Cinsault.
