Minervois Lo Mainatge Red Rhone Blend

Down the drain it goes

A second Acker buy. CVed with first 3/25/20. Lighter and medium bodied wine that’s balanced and good pairing for lots of food. Got that stimulating texture of the Southern Rhône blend. Great buy! AA5. Opened 6/6/20 very fresh texture still with the lighter not so complex red berry notes that paired very well with Amah bone soup with highly watered down Kimchee. Relatively simple but still a good pairing wine. 70 Grenache 30 Syrah.

A promising Minervois red

Solid Rhône red. Cherry is there, but in a dry, taut way.

This is a must have

Holy cow. dark fruit, meat and smoke. dense & thick & viscous. Berries, liqueur, cinnamon, crushed white pepper, limestone, mint, and anise.

Cherry, spice, dry, real smooth. Solid Rhône selection.

Very very good. Nice fruits upfront with a very good balance

Opened up quite nicely with a bit of air, showcasing some cherry and spice. Very fruit forward with flavors of dark fruits and pepper with really nice acidity and well integrated tannins. This is a simple French wine and very typical of the Rhone, but in my opinion those are positive qualities.

Light and fruity
