Wine 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

Winery 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.  - Vintage Cellar 3/21/2013

My Review:  I really enjoyed drinking this wine.  Purple in color, Domaine was sweet while retaining mouth clenching flavor.  Strong on the nose and tongue with flavors of mixed berries, this wine offered spicy and a mouth puckering bitterness that added dimension to the wine. 
 
Food: I did not try this wine with food.
