Medium plus in body with medium acidity and nice legs.

This is a nice Côte du Rhône red blend. Well balanced and enjoyable by itself or with food. Showing mild complexity and a nice mouthfeel. Drinking nicely now and in the next few years.
A good food wine too. I paired it with a cheese plate, fruits and crackers.
I had it 6 months ago and it is already drinking nicer.

2 people found it helpfulJun 27th, 2016Found this guy in a clearance bin. I thought I'd give it a loving home. Needed plenty of oxygen to open up. After an hour and a half it is drinking wonderfully. Rich fruit, subtle tannins and a touch of pepper on the finish. Glad I waited until it was ready to make a French Dip sandwich for my wife and I.

Nice fruity nose of blueberries, cherries, strawberries, earth, wood, vanilla, green pepper, licorice, coffee, tobacco leaf and black pepper.
Medium bodied with medium acidity and nice legs
Dry on the palate with strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, licorice, oak, vanilla, green vegetables, bell pepper, earth, sage, spices, coffee, bitter herbs, tobacco and peppercorn.
Medium finish with firm tannins and black pepper.
This is a nice red wine from Côte du Rhône. Good right out of the bottle and better as it opens up. Shows mild complexity and good balance, but still green and bitter on the ending.
Needs a year or two in the bottle to mature, however, it is drinkable now, by itself or with food.
This is very enjoyable as a happy hour red wine.
