Tasting - Domaine de Grange de Payan


Name: Domaine de Grange de Payan

Variety: Grenache (mostly)

Region: Côtes du Rhône

Country: France

Year: 2011

Price: $8.95

Shop Review: 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: I didn't know wine could be this spicy!  Even on the nose, you could pick up the spices in this wine.  There was a very complex taste to this wine, with a very peppery overtone.  The aftertaste of this wine was very bitter and tart.

With Food? No
