Tasting: Charles Thomas Cotes du Rhone Blend


Name Charles Thomas Cotes du Rhone Blend
Variety - Blend: 50% Syrah, 40% Grenache, 10% Mourvèdre
Region - Rhone
Country - France
Year - 2013
Price - $8.95

Wine Review 50% Syrah, 40% Grenache, 10% Mourvèdre. 56 Ha grown organically since March 2009 (in conversion). Part of the vineyard is plowed with horses. Average age of the vines : 30 years old. Clear ruby wine with overtones of red berry fruits. Round and supple with smooth aftertaste. A good all round red wine for meat courses, poultry and light cheeses. Best drunk now while fresh with good keeping up to 4 years.    

Personal Review - I liked the body of the wine due to its berry flavors, but I did not like the after-taste.  I would be very interested in trying this wine with foods because it would definitely change the after-taste (hopefully).  I would have this wine again.

Food - I did not try this wine with food.
