Tasting- Domaine de Grange de Payan


Name:  Domaine de Grange de Payan
Variety:   Grenache
Region:   Cotes du Rhone
Country:   France
Year:  2011
Price:   $8.95

Shop Critic:  Intensely spicy and precise, with lively red berry flavors and a hint of black pepper.  The Grenache, which makes up the majority of the wine, is deeper and more powerful, offering cherry and black raspberry qualities lifted by zesty minerality.

My Review:  This wine was an alcohol powerhouse at 15%!  It smelled slightly like wet rocks with subtle fruit aromas like blueberries and raspberries.  This velvety wine was smooth and thick in the back of my palate.  Creamy and buttery flavors lingered for a while with a little bit of spice, and toasted acidity.  

I drank this wine with no food pairings.
