Variety: Grenache (Majority)
Region: Côtes du Rhône
Country: France
Year: 2011
Price: $8.95
Tasting Date: March 21, 2013
Location: Vintage Cellar
Food Pairing: None
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 Thoughts: The aroma is much more earthy than the Tinto Figaro I tasted just before this one. Pepper and vegetable notes on the nose with very little fruit. Flavor is equally earthy with pepper flavors, finish is spicy with smooth but noticeable tannins.
