A fun sipper but tasted more like a frappucino than a wine.

Wow! This is a full body and flavorful Grenache. It's on sale at Whole Foods! It's around $12 - $15 and it drinks like anything in the $24 range. I highly recommend it.

Unbalanced and brutally oaked. Harsh vanilla and cherry. Very unpleasant.

Concentrated wonder! I love finding Chateauneuf slayers and I’ve got one here. Rich and vibrant with incredible layers of oak. Some may need food with this wine but I have a deep palate that needs this style to get me going. Great wine, great value highly recommended!

15 mins in similar to ‘12 I had in 2015: black cherry, blackberry and white pepper. However the ‘13 in 2018 has a little more red fruit (raspberry and plum). Good with sausage and green pepper pizza. 2 hours later it developed a really yummy chocolate and spicy flavor with a medium-length finish. Somehow it reminds me of the wine version of Mexican hot chocolate. I’m not really a Gott fan, but this is definitely worth buying again (and aging for 5 years).
