Shane’s Notes

This was another blind taste test for Jen.

My notes: Aroma – muted, earthy, red berry. Palate – tangy, almost sour, kind of herbal and leathery, medium finish.

Jen’s notes – Deep, opaque red – almost purple. Nose is tart fruit and a bit of an inky funk. Probably French. Palate – needs to open. Definitely tart fruit with herbs and leather and roasted notes.

Jen’s Guess - $12-$15, Northern Rhone

We were both disappointed in this one. I agree with Jen’s price guess – this wine is not worth more than $15.
