Variety: Syrah, Grenache, Carignan
Region: Rhone Valley
Country: France
Year: 2011
Price: $5.95
Shop/wine critic/winery review:  85 Points – Wine Enthusiast
A blend of 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 20% Carignan. Deep red garnet color with purple highlights. Intense nose of morello cherry, tobacco and liquorice. Good structure on the palate with lots of fruits and a long fruity and spicy finish. A true delight.
Your review: It was okay, it was sweet and chocolately on the nose. Tastes of cherry were evident in the mid pallet, it had a little bite on the finish and I almost felt like it smelled/tasted a little like pine needles after the first sip.
