Tasting - " Delaroche Cotes du Rhone"

Name: Delaroche Cotes du Rhone
Variety: Blended 50% Syrah, 40% Grenache and 10% Mourvedre
Region: Rhone Valley
Country: France
Year: 2011
Price: $8.95
Shop/ wine critic/ winery review: Vintage Cellar: This was the first semi-opaque ruby that was tasted. It exhibited very fresh, ripe dark red fruit with rich fruits blended together. This wine was made from organically grown grapes.
Your Review:  This was the first red wine that was tasted and probably one of my least favorites because of its tartness and heavy nature. It had a tangy sensation at the end of the wine, which reduced its appeal to me. This wine was recommended with food, which was not available during the tasting and could have made it more enjoyable.
