unWine'd with a pour...
<$20
This is a blend of Grenache & Cabernet. It has dark fruit, blackberry-black cherry, on the nose but with a hint of the earthiness French wines are known for. I thought the last two glasses of the wine were more balanced than the first, it opened up nicely. You get the nice dark fruit from the Cab and the mouth-filling roundness of the Grenache which gives it good balance, not too tannic. I got a hint of vanilla on the mid-palate and a little spice or maybe it was just the alcohol as this wine is 14.5%. Should I buy this again, I'd decant it for a hour and give it time to show it's best. Cheers to all...
