Tasting - B&G Chicken & Turkey Cotes du Rhone

Name: B&G Chicken & Turkey Cotes du Rhone
Variety: 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 20% Carignan
Region: Rhone Valley
Country: France
Year: 2011
Price: $10 (Currently on sale at The Vintage Cellar for $5.95)

Winery Review: A blend of 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 20% Carignan. Deep red garnet color with purple highlights. Intense nose of morello cherry, tobacco and liquorice. Good structure on the palate with lots of fruits and a long fruity and spicy finish. A true delight.

My Review: This wine was okay. It smelled like berries. The first taste was a little closed off, but much smoother on the second taste. I also was able to taste cherries and a spicy finish. Overall I smelled more than I tasted, as the taste wasn't very full to me. I tasted this wine on its own without food.
