Tasting #8 - Red

Name: 2010 Cotes du Rhone Sol'Acantalys
Smell: hot
Taste: flat, hot, acidic
Dryness/Sweetness: medium dry
Food: just tasting
Country/Region: France/Rhone

Alcohol Content: 13.5%
How much? not sure (other sites have it list for $10 - $12)
Where'd you try it? Vintage Cellar
Would you drink it again? Never Again - There are too many wines out there to linger on one which didn't WOW me.

Extra thoughts: I didn't get much from this except the blast of alcohol on the first sip. Maybe that's just me. I'm sure the French love it.

This website might help you out more than me...

TASTING NOTES
"Bright and juicy Côtes du Rhône with hints of spice and pepper. This young and fresh Côtes du Rhône from Les Vignerons de Tavel shows superb notes of red berry fruits and spice, particularly pepper."

FOOD CHOICE
Enjoy with a traditional shepard's pie.

GRAPE MIX
Grenache - Syrah - Carignan

My rating scale works as such:
1. Never Again
2. If someone else bought it
3. I'd keep it in mind
4. At least one more time
5. Going to get another bottle right NOW!
