La Réserve Saint Dominique
Ventoux Grenache
Côtes du Ventoux, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
Smells of lavender, vanilla, and black olives.
Heavier bodied, with provencal herbs, black olives, hints of licorice, dark fruits - dried plum, dried dark cherry, acidified tannin.
An amazing wine for the price. Lovely.
Stay Healthy. 🍷

McCarthy & Schiering, $14
Nose is a bit hot with jammy fruit, black olive, maybe a little minerality. Comes off a bit sweet with the rich jammy note, pretty heavy tannins, and not much acidity. It's kind of prune-like cherry, touch of black olive, minerality, and some sort of slight anise or vanilla spice at the finish. Quite complex and definitely a quality well-made wine, but not really my style, not a fan of the sweet jammy note to it, maybe more acidity would balance it. Rating purely on my preference and not the quality.
