Vintage Cellar Tasting - Charles Thomas Cotes du Rhone

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

Vintage Cellar 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.

Macy's Review: The wine has an oakey and acidic flavor to it.  Left an unpleasant flavor in my mouth that I never want to experience again.  I would not recommend this to anyone, nor would I ever drink it again.
