Variety: Mostly Grenache
Country: France (Cotes du Rhone)
Price: $8.95
Vintage Cellar Review: Intensely spicy and precise, with lively red berry flavors and a hint of black pepper. The Grenache, which makes up the majority of the wine, is deeper and more powerful, offering cherry and black raspberry qualities lifted by zesty minerality.
My Review: Where a lot of red wines can smell musty and like the cellars it comes from, this was definitely not that. It was floral and perfumey with notes of raspberry and cherry. It was nice and bright which was refreshing. The taste was vastly different from that notion though. It was astringent and spicey or peppery which was a weird combo. The cherry taste was nice and deep, but tasted like cough medicine which was no good to me.
