Name:Charles THomas Variety:Cotes du Rhone Region: Rhone Country: France  Year: 2013 Price:$8.95 Winery 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:  I had mixed feelings about this one. For me the aftertaste was rather nice sine it seemed to tone down in the fruit taste from the beginning of which I didn't actually like more so cause I thought it was suppose to be a red so normally I make the thought that it would be a bit bitter. Sadly I don't think I would reccomend this one out its not bad per say just not what I wanted in the red.   ***I did not eat anything with this wine***
