Tasting - Charles Thomas Cotes du Rhone

Name: Charles Thomas
Variety: Cotes du Rhone
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: Cotes du Rhone was fantastic! It had a beautiful maroon color, had sweet aromas of berries, and had a very smooth finish which resulted in the perfect touch of sweetness. The aftertaste left a soft tannin finish and was not too dry. I really enjoyed this wine!
