Pours sangria in color. ON THE NOSE: Violets and red berries with a slight alcohol burn. ON THE PALATE: black cherry. Medium (-) body and short finish. Not a complex wine, but not meant for storing. Drink young.

This is a fun Rhone blend, and Steve is right: the Counoise really brings the room together!

Cherry, strawberry jams, sweet spices, 15% lac so a little bit heat on the action, otherwise it's good. 2013 vintage

Part of the blind France vs CA wine tasting at the office. Somewhat bitter. Not one I would choose on my own.

Exceptional value; perfumed violet petals, silk in the mouth with dark fruit notes and a touch of spice and cured meats

This one is a sipper for me. I'm not sure yet what I think!
