Côtes du Ventoux Grenache Syrah

Expressive nose of lilacs.
All of the rough edges have faded with laying this down for so long.
Medium weight.
Blackberry, Thai basil, raspberry seed.
Light tannin/acid.
I love looking in the back of the wine closet for finds.

Spicy and floral nose.

Soft, ripe and plump. Boysenberry Jam, medium bodied, and easy drinkin!

Not one for deep personal thought, this is more fuel for the discussion.

Stage 12 of #tourdefrance climbed Mt Venteux so we drank the local. Big and a bit gamey with deep fruit flavors. Interesting but not a fav.

Floral and funky

Saline, seeded fruits, roasted cherry on the edges, floral, very young tannins. This wine is an early angry teen anger. Need to come back and visit when it gets to college.

Another good 2015 Rhône. 12/17

Sweet smell of that amazing vintage, 2015..
The pineapples signify the richness of this vintage.
Strong Cassis nose, decaying matter, forest floor, in the best of ways. Rhône lovers know what I’m a talkin about. Back full of deep cherry, deep, dark, abyss of cherry.
This is a great wine for the few 2 dimensional dead presidents bartered..

Great soft wine

Good fruit, malo mouthfeel, dark licorice, star anise. A daily.
Light tannin, chewed on with acidic gum.
