Tasting-Domaine de Grange de Payan


Name: Domaine de Grange de Payan
Variety: Grenache (majority)
Region: Côtes du Rhône
Country: France
Year: 2011
Price: $8.95
Shop review: “Intensely spicy and precise, with lively red berry flavors and a hint of black pepper. The Grenache, which makes up a majority of the wine, is deeper and more powerful, offering cherry and black raspberry qualities lifted by zesty minerality.” (Vintage Cellar, Blacksburg VA)

My review: This wine was red, but had hints of brown when swirled.  The smell resembled bread or yeast at first, followed by perfumes and light florals.  The taste was like liquid bread and butter, and slightly sour.  It left my mouth with a sensation of grilled vegetables or French fries.
I did not drink this with food.
