What to Expect

Rhone Blends are generally based on Grenache, though some blends may be predominantly Syrah or Mourvedre. The fact that these wines are blends gives the winemakers unusual flexibility in creating a finished wine. In the Southern Rhone Valley of France the styles can range from light, fruity, soft Cotes du Rhone to big, bold, age worthy Chateaunuef-du-pape. This blend is also very popular in Australia and the United States where they frequently go by the Moniker GSM (Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre) and exhibit the rich, bold fruit that both countries are famous for.

Excellent value! Balanced and earthy, full-bodied, but with a fine minerality. Perfect daily drinker at this price point. Will not hesitate to buy again!

Nice earthy tones, excellent balance. A nice break from the fruit explosions that have become all-too-common.

Opened about 2 hours ago.Pours to a deep rich purple. A lot more floral on the nose than the 2007, with a bit of woodiness as well.Very balanced on the mouth. Some dark fruits as well - plum and blackberry mainly. Nicely tannic.Good stuff, though not up to the '07.

Old world monster. Huge initial explosion of fruit, followed by massive iron and blood overtones. Only flaw is the shortness. If it had length it would rival 400 dollar CDP's.
