"Lovely organic Cotes-du-Rhone, super drinkable from the sun baked vineyards of the Southern Rhone Valley"
Certified organic this is made up of a blend of 50% Grenache, 25% Syrah, 10% Cinsault and 15% Mourvedre. Deep dark red colour with black tinged edges and a dark red hue. Aromas of dark raspberries and hints of liquorice laced with fresh herbs are followed by scorched earth and spice. Light to medium weight ripe dark cherry and raspberry flavours meld into traces of red liquorice, earth and spice. Fine grained tannins.
This is very good value for money. A Piedmont red under $30! It has good dark fruit, some nice tannins and acid to balance although it would benefit from some more age to smooth it a bit but I liked its feistiness now.
I was happily surprised by the quality of the labels in the "mystery" case of rose wines - great value for the money I must say. Excellent drinking experience from the unfamiliar labels and happy to enjoy again the familiar ones.
