Wine Tasting- Puig Parahy Cotes Du Roussillon Georges


Name: Puig Parahy Cotes Du Roussillon Georges
Variety:  Syrah, Grenache, Carignan, Mouvedre
Region:   Languedoc Roussillon
Country : France
Year: 2010
Price: $11.95

Winery Review: This is a medium to full bodied red made from Syrah, Grenache, Carignan and Mourvedre. Some of the vines go back over 130 years, and the wines won Gold Medals in 1893 and 1896. It has sweet black fruit up front, a very rich chocolate/caramel middle, and a long dry finish without any distracting tannin. 

 My Review: On the nose this was is full of berries, herbs, and spices. The scent of the wine also went along with the taste which had the tarty cherries and sweet and spicy taste but also bittersweet along with a dab of cashews that had been smoked. I found the wine pleasant and would drink it again.

I did not have food with this wine.
