Tasting- Domaine de Grange de Payan

Name:  Domaine de Grange de Payan
Variety:  Grenache
Region:  Cotes du Rhone
Country:  France
Year:  2011
Price:  $8.95

Vintage Cellar Review:  Intensely spicy and precise, with lively red berry flavors and a hint of black pepper. The Grenache, which makes up the majority of the wine, is deeper and more powerful, offering cherry and black raspberry qualities lifted by zesty minerality.

My Review:  When swirling the wine the legs were noticeable.  This wine had a very strong smell of black pepper.  The taste was very faint.  Hard to really taste anything.  It was very acidic and dry though.  Overall, I thought the wine was boring, not one of my favorites.  I was not eating any food while at the wine tasting.
