Domaine de Grange de Payan Tasting

Name: Domaine de Grange de Payan  Variety: Grenache (Majority) 
Region: 
Côtes du Rhône 
Country:
 
France 
Year:
 2011 
Price:
 $8.95 


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 (Vintage Cellar). 


My Review: The nose on this wine was very subtle, I couldn't really get an exact smell out of it. But it was pretty dull. The taste was almost unbearably dry. The "oak monster" really came into play with this wine. The after taste was almost sour, something I was not expecting in a red wine.
