Tasting- Charles Thomas Cotes-du-Rhone


Name: Charles Thomas Cotes-du-Rhone
Variety: 50% Syrah, 40% Grenache, and 10% Mourvedre
Region: Rhone
Country: France
Year: Non-Vintage
Price: $8.95
Critic Review: From a 140+-acre estate near the well-known Cotes du Rhone village of Pont Saint Esprit emerges this juicy Cotes du Rhone, a blend of 50% Syrah, 40% Grenache and 10% Mourvedre. Well- made, with loads of berry fruit
and a heady, meaty, peppery nose with a hint of Provencal herbs, the wine is fresh, lively, and best drunk over the next 2 years.
My Review: This wine was very robust and full-bodied.  It was slightly spicy which made it complex and interesting.  I really liked the way that it tasted and could detect some blueberry.  I did not have this wine with food.
