Year: 2011
Price: $22.95
Wine Critic Review: "Decanted, tasted double blind. Not a very dark red, distinctly violet. A fairly restrained nose of blackberries that got a bit more expressive with air, a bit of vanilla, but not much. The palate follows, rather restrained, red berries, quite acidic, not much tannins. Put with food and watch what happens. Quite nice."
My Review: This wine tasted pretty smooth. Went down easy but had a hint of pepper. It would be good with food because of the hint of pepper which would compliment the peppery taste. The man at the tasting explained that this wine is from the second most well known region in France. I would like to try this wine again with a beef or pork and see how the slight pepper taste compares with the meat.
Food: We did not have it with food.
