Variety: Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre
Region: Rhone Valley
Country: France
Year: 2014
Price: $9.95
Shop/Critic/Winery Review: for the 2011, but all I could find: "Intensely spicy and precise, with lively red berry flavors and a hint of black pepper. The Grenache, which makes up the majority of the wine, is deeper and more powerful, offering cherry and black raspberry qualities lifted by zesty minerality."
My impressions: Muted nose, bits of soap and cleaner. Small bits of dark fruit... Cassis? Explosion of flavor when it hits the tongue. Tannic, but not overly so. Red and dark fruit, hint of leather on the finish. Very nice. I'd buy it again for a tenner.
