Wine Tasting: Dom Roger Perrin Cotes du Rhone

Name: Dom Roger Perrin Cotes du Rhone
Variety: Grenache, Syrah
Country: France
Region: Rhone                                                              
Year: 2012
Price: $14.95
Review: The back label calls this “Rouge fruité”; and it’s exactly as described, from 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 10% Cinsaut. This offers a classic Grenache nose of crushed cherries and damsons, and then a deliciously forward, supple juicy gulp of raspberries and cherries, with a charming liqueur hint and a lovely perfumed finish. 
My Review: This wine had a pretty distinct nose, very fruity.  However, I didn't really enjoy it.  The fruit flavors seemed a little off/unbalanced to me.  I'd give this wine a 4 on the delightful scale.
