California
2009
This dark red wine is made in a "Cotes du Rhone style." It is a medium-bodied wine that contains three different kinds of grapes: Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre. It has notes of raspberries, blackberries, black currant, and pepper that all work well together. It says that it can withhold a variety of foods to be paired with - and with three different kinds of grapes, we believe it.
Colin: I love this wine - it is really good. It contains everything I like about red wine. It's hardy like a meal - you could cut it with a knife. I do think that the finish is a little sharp, but that doesn't really affect my rating of this wine.
Rating: 9 out of 10 glasses
Rachel: Upon first sip, I didn't even want to taste this wine aerated because it was so delicious. It's bold, has a bite, and still has a very fruity flavor. This is a great stand alone wine, but it paired well with out pasta dinner. I would rate it higher if it was a smoother finish, instead of the finishing "kick." But I still highly recommend it as a good, inexpensive bottle.
Rating: 8 out of 10 glasses
Aerate: Colin - No // Rachel - No
