Region: Rhone
Country: France

Winery Review: A beautiful
ruby red wine. Very fragrant with aromas of red fruit (currant,
strawberry, and cherry) with hints of black pepper and cinnamon.
Medium-bodied and silky in the mouth with mature, round tannins. Enjoy
with meats, grilled vegetables, or cheese.
Ned's Take:
I definitely sensed the dried dark fruit in this wine. It had a smooth taste and a little bit of a warming feel, but not enough to really hurt the wine. It was interesting to get the traces of spice in the flavor. It didn't really pronounce itself until later in the flavor and on the second taste. I recognized that this was a well rounded wine that had good structure, but it seemed a bit reserved and boring. It would have been nice to see a stronger nose on the wine and some bolder flavors.
Tasted without food
