Paul Jaboulet Aîné Parallèle 45 Côtes du Rhône Grenache Syrah 2012, Southern Rhône, France

 

My Rating 82 Points.  
Price $13.

 

Dark red/light ruby with a pink rim and medium intensity.

Medium to light bodied with long legs.

On the Nose, strawberries, cherries, red currants, musk, mushrooms, wet rocks, minerals, spices and white pepper.

Dry on the palate with strawberries, sour cherries, earth, french oak, blueberries, peppercorn and forest floor.

Spicy on the finish, with round tannins and with some bite.

Nice sipping wine, but too tangy. Great food wine. Drinks like a Pinot Noir.

A blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah.

14% alcohol by volume.
