About the Wine: Grenache is one of the grapes that goes into red Cotes Du Rhone blends. This effort comes from Australia, which is known for Shiraz, a close relative of Syrah, the other varietal that is crucial to Cotes Du Rhone. It will be interesting to see if this Rhone grape transfers as well.
About THIS Wine: In the glass it is deep red with a light pink rim. The nose has a vegetable quality with strong mineral and graphite notes. The palate is heavy and tannic with a dry, sour cherry finish.
Drinking this Wine: This wine is not big or bold enough to stand up to steak but beef and rice or beef and noodle dishes are a good match. It is definitely not a sipping wine.
Overall Impression: The wine is nice and the price is right. This one is good for the price.
