Selected By Kermit Lynch Côtes du Rhône Red Rhone Blend

Meh. Decent.

Medium ruby; medium minus intensity aromas of cranberry, black cherry, strawberry, cinnamon, licorice; youthful; dry, medium acid, medium plus tannins, medium alcohol, medium body, medium intensity flavors of cherry, raspberry, cinnamon; medium finish

Classic Rhône. Cranberry, blackberry, star anise, and cinnamon. Medium acid and tannin.

Why have I never bothered to try this near-ubiquitous bottling? Not quite as delicious as the Vaucluse they pick from Durban, but a really good value for a weeknight table red. Very classic grenache in cement character. Gimme.

#tbt one of the Adventures Club picks for September. Really nice and smooth blend, think I need to stockpile some... ! tasting notes mention soulful and also black olives, which the bottle still smells like.

Hit the spot but no need to rush out and buy more

Medium, medium, medium. Allison L says it all … but I am easily satisfied and the pork tenderloin was wonderful.

A simple wine for family dinners ($14)

Raspberry and cherry with medium tannians, mildly spicy with a lighter body. What a cote du rhone villages should be. Excellent value and bright flavors.

Jammy and light with mainly red fruit and overripe finish. One of the lower tier Kermit wines but overall decent.
