Côtes du Rhône Red Rhone Blend

High alcohol - not much else that's memorable

This juicy wine has a garnet bordering on medium-purple color. It leads with bold fruit flavors of cherry that remind me of red-"flavored" medicine, and has medium tannins. Dark-fruit and an interesting and pleasant combination of tea and vanilla fill out the aroma, leading to a suggestion of cocoa powder and assertion of alcohol on a long finish.

2011.

Juicy cherry Grenache character, hints of wet stones and mild herbs make it lovely, a concentrated finish and some tannin bring it all together. Very drinkable (gulpable) now!
