Tasting- Charles Thomas Cotes du Rhone

Name: Charles Thomas Cotes du Rhone
Variety: Cotes du Rhone
Region: Rhone
Country: France
Year: 2013
Price: $8.95
The Winery Review: 50% Syrah, 40% Grenache, 10% Mourvedre, 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 supply 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:On the nose there was not much difference that i could pick up.  The taste of it was very dry and earthy with a little bit of cherry.  It reminded me of licking a cherry sucker that was drop in the dirt.  I would give this wine a 7 out of 10.
