Tasting- Beauvert Cotes du Rhone

Name: Beauvert Cotes du Rhone
Variety: Grenache Blend
Region: Rhone
Country: France
Year: 2009
Price: $11.95
Shop's Review: A beautiful ruby red wine.  Very fragrant, with aromas of red fruit (currant, strawberry and cherry) with hints of black pepper and cinnamon.  Medium-bodied and silky in the mouth with mature, round tannins.  Enjoy with meats, grilled vegetables or cheese.

My Review: This wine was very smooth on the palate. It was tannic, but not overwhelmingly so.  I did not try it with food, but agree with the description that it would pair well with red meats.
