2006 Reserve Perrin Cotes Du Rhone


2006 Reserve Perrin Cotes Du Rhone - $10 France. A blend of mostly Grenache (60%), blended with Syrah, Mourvedre, and Cinsault. A deep crimson color with a bold nose comprised of cranberries, dark fruit, and oak. The taste is smooth and full bodied, with soft tannins and a gentle finish. My only gripe about the wine is a bit of tartness, other than that I think it's a well done effort for the price. For $10 it's solid, there are far worse bottles at this price point, you're money is safe with this one. This wine is a pretty consistent quality wine and it can be found easily in grocery stores and wine shops.
