Tasting- "Charles Thomas Cotes du Rhone"

Name: Charles Thomas Cotes du Rhone
Variety: Red Grape
Region: Rhone
Country: France
Year: 2013
Price: $8.95

Winery 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.

My Review: This red wine had a light purple and brown color. It smelled like fruits and sharpees. It tasted really nasty. I thought it was a classic red wine. Nothing too special about it.
