France
(?)
$15ish
Poundability: 3/5
Value: 3/5
Overall: 2.5/5
Dark purple color with a nose of crushed dark fruits with a light/medium body.
Off the jump you get flavors of plum, cassis, earth and spices. Mild floral, mineral and bramble notes as well.
I get a slight sweetness from the wine but still dry by a long shot. Some alcohol "heat" but not in a harsh way. More tannic then anticipated. Not overly complex, bringing down the overall score.
A solid quaffer fo' sho' but for $15 wish there was slightly more going on. Not a disappointment but for the price I wish there was a little more going on. Just sorta....basic. Would still revisit when looking for an easy drinking, inexpensive wine but not one I would seek out either. Which is a slight let down as most Chapoutier wines I've tried have been quite good.
