Tasting - Charles Thomas Cotes du Rhone

Name: Petrucco
Variety: Rhone Blend
Country: France
Region: Rhone
Year: 2013
Price: $8.95

Tasting Notes: 50% Syrah, 40% Grenache, 10% Mourvèdre. 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: An okay wine.  Smells of peppered vegetables.  Medium bodied with plush tannins. Finishing with strong dark fruit.  Probably better enjoyed with a meal.

I had this wine without food.
