Vidal Fleurie - Cotes du Rhone

Name: Vidal Fleurie
Variety: Cotes du Rhone
Region: Cotes du Rhone
Country: France
Price: $16.00 -> $10.95

Winery Review: Brilliant garnet red color. Red fruits and spices on the nose. The mouth reveals rounded tannins (thanks to the stay in the oak barrels), a warm and full-bodied wine with an uncommon and lasting aromatic intensity. The proof that Cotes-du-Rhone can be a serious and elegant wine.

My Review: The wine has a slight pepper smell. Once I tasted the wine the only thing that I could taste was pepper. There is not much other taste to the wine, it is a very bland wine. It says that the wine was aged in oak but I was not able to taste the oak or tannin flavors. It was a little dry, but not overly dry. I would not recommend this wine to anyone that wants to try it.
