Tasting- Col Des Vents Corbieres



Name: Col Des Vents
Variety: Corbieres
Region: Durban
Country: France
Year: 2009
Price: $7.95

Wine Critic 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: The smell of this wine consisted of cherry, berries (mostly raspberry), and spice (such as cinnamon). The taste of Corbieres was peppery, spicy, and had the presence of dark berries (raspberry predominately). This was a medium bodied wine which seemed like it had a lot to offer initially, but was rather lackluster in taste because their was no aftertaste or kick when tasting the wine.

This wine was not tried with food.
