Winery Review: "50% Carignan, 35% Grenache, 15% Syrah. Bramble berry, cherry, and raspberry, spices, black pepper.. all are present in this authentic French country"
My Review: On the nose this wine has welcoming blackberry, blackcherry, and raspberry aromas that draw attention to the full body and fruitiness of the wine. On the palate there are numerous berry components that excite the taste buds, but the wine is very spicy and dry. It is clear that this wine has a lot of tannic acid which can be too strong for many wine drinkers. I might try this wine again with a full cheese or heavy pasta dish and see if that calms the wine at all.
