Tasting- Delaroche Torrontes



Name: Delaroche 
Variety:  Torrontes
Region: Rhone Valley
Country: France
Year: 2011
Price: $ 8.95
Winery Review: This semi-opaque ruby, custom cuvée of 50% Syrah, 40% Grenache and 10% Mourvedre is made specifically for Fran Kysela. It exhibits very fresh, ripe dark red fruit with very good palate weight and depth and ends with rich fruit notes. Made from organically grown grapes. Incredible value!


Personal Review: I could really smell the oak. It was dry and tart. I could taste the oak and smokey flavor upon first taste. However, I could not identify what else was in the wine. The oak overpowered the other flavors. The finish was not smooth. Which ruined the wine for me. I did not pair it with food.
