Anne Delaroche Cotes du Rhone

Tuesday, February 25, 2014

Name: Anne Delaroche

 

Variety: 50% Syrah, 40% Grenache, 10% Mourvedre (13.5% Alcohol)
Region: Rhone Valley
Country: France
Year: 2011
Price: $11


My Review:  This appears to be a medium bodied wine that is the color of raspberries, plum and grape jelly. This has a fruity aroma of strawberries and blackberries, and also a slight caramel aroma. This wine has a slight smokey flavor and has a little more alcoholic burn than I would have liked. There are a decent amount of tannins.

Winery Review: Clear ruby wine with overtones of red berry fruits. Round and supple with smooth finish. A good all round red wine for meat courses, poultry and light cheeses. Best drunk now while fresh with good keeping up to four years.





I did not drink this with food
I might drink this again
