Winery Review:

50% Carignan, 35% Grenache, 15% Syrah.
Brambly berry, cherry and raspberry, spices, black pepper…all are
present in this authentic French country wine.

 

My Review:

I found this wine generally unpleasant. When I first smelled it I got a lot of the spice and black pepper smell. I almost always know when I smell those notes I will not like the taste of the wine. Once I tasted it I was right and although there were elements of berries, specifically cherry to help with the spiciness of the wine I did not enjoy it. I tried this wine without food but would not try it again with or without food.
