Charles Thomas Cotes du Rhone 2013

Name: Charles Thomas

Variety: Cotes du Rhone

Country: Rhone, France

Year: 2013

Price: $9

Bottles Finished: 0 (Tasting Only)





Wine review: 50% Syrah, 40% Grenache, 10% Mourvèdre. 56 Ha grown organically since March 2009 (in conversion). Part of the vineyard is plowed with horses. Average age of the vines : 30 years old. Clear ruby wine with overtones of red berry fruits. Round and supple with smooth aftertaste. A good all round red wine for meat courses, poultry and light cheeses. Best drunk now while fresh with good keeping up to 4 years.

My review: This wine was good, but I think this should sit in the bottle for just 1-2 years more. Earthy on the nose with a dry, acidic body of leather flavors.

Rating:
Flush
