Tasting- Col Des Vents


Name:  Col Des Vents
Variety:  50% Carignan, 35% Grenache, 15% Syrah
Region:  Dorban
Country: France
Year:  2009
Price:  $7.95
Review:  50% Carignan, 35% Grenache, 15% Syrah.  Brambly berry, cherry and raspberry, spices, black pepper…all are present in this authentic French country wine
My Review:  This wine smelled fruity, but not sweet.  More of a berries and spice mix.  It tasted peppery, but in a nice spicy way and not really any heat.  It was actually pretty dull the more I drank and left a chalky feel in my mouth.  There were also some hints of cherry.  The most expensive wine was the least favorite of the day. 

I tried this wine without food.
