Charles Thomas Cotes du Rhone 2013

Name: Charles Thomas Cotes du Rhone
Variety: 50% Syrah, 40% Grenache, 10% MourvèdreRegion: RhoneCountry: FranceYear: 2013Price: $8.95
Review: "50% Syrah, 40% Grenache, 10% Mourvèdre. 56 Ha grown organically since March 2009 (in conversion). Part of the vineyard is plowed with horses. Average age of the vines : 30 years old. Clear ruby wine with overtones of red berry fruits. Round and supple with smooth aftertaste. A good all round red wine for meat courses, poultry and light cheeses. Best drunk now while fresh with good keeping up to 4 years" - Vintage Cellar

There were Floral notes in the initial nose and a little peppery too.  Smoother body than the previous wine and more acidic.  I think this wine would go well with meat
