Tasting - Charles Thomas Cotes du Rhone

Name: Charles Thomas Cotes du Rhone
Variety: 50% Syrah, 40% Grenache, 10% Mourvèdre
Region: Rhone
Country: France
Year: 2013
Price: $8.95

Winery Review: 50% Syrah, 40% Grenache, 10% Mourvèdre. 56 Ha grown organically since March 2009 (in conversion). Part of the vineyard is plowed with horses. Average age of the vines : 30 years old. Clear ruby wine with overtones of red berry fruits. Round and supple with smooth aftertaste. A good all round red wine for meat courses, poultry and light cheeses. Best drunk now while fresh with good keeping up to 4 years.

My Review: I really enjoyed this wine. This wine had a smooth mouth feel and good lingering aftertaste. I got red berries on the nose and the palate. I can see this wine being great with a meat dish.

I did not try this with food.
