Winery Review: Importer Fran Kysela commissioned this remarkable red Rhone bargain from a winery near Pont Saint Esprit just north of Avignon in the sunny south of France. A classic blend of 50% Syrah, 40% Grenache, and 10% Mourvedre, it’s delights with loads of juice berry fruits spiced with provencal herbs. Organic and traditionally-made, it delivers great value for a pleasurable price.
My review: The smell of this wine was very vibrant and I could definitely smell the apple in it. However, I noticed that the smell of this wine changed as it settled after I had swirled it. For example, when it was still swirling, I smelled the apple distinctly, but once it stopped swirling and had sat for a bit I couldn't identify the smell anymore and it definitely had changed. The taste of the wine was pretty sour and it had a medium finish.
