Shop/wine
critic/Winery Review: 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 Review: This
was the wine that I was looking forward to the most out of the bunch. I have started to grow a fan of this region
in France and since the majority of these wines are more on the expensive side,
I thought this could be a good deal. The
smell has some hints of spice to it but was also very light. The color of the wine was much clearer
compared to others I have had so was quite intrigued. The taste starts off with a strong kick but
lightens up immediately. It finished
with a nice hint of spice, almost like a friendly spice not a kick in your
mouth spice. It was also much smoother
than the rest of the bunch that I tasted so was very happy with the
outcome. It was definitely the best of
the bunch (probably not a great comparison).
