Tasting- 2011 Domaine de Grange

Name: Domaine de Grange de Payan
Variety: Grenache
Region: Rhone
Country: France
Year: 2011
Price: $8.95

Winery Review: Intensely spicy and precise, with lively red berry flavors and a hint of black pepper. The Grenache is deeper and more powerful, offering cherry and black raspberry qualities lifted by zesty minerality.

My Review: This wine has a nice ruby color. The nose of this was extremely light, I had a hard time distinguishing anything. On the palate it was very smooth, yet slightly hollow and void of flavor. It was definitely dry, but there was surprisingly no heat for a 15% ABV wine. I think this one may be better in a couple years, it seems a tad too young to drink.
