Year: 2008
Price: $17.95
Shop review: Chatau Massiac's red wine is a blend of 75% Syrah and 25% Carignan. The vines are grown in rocky clay-limestone soil, a geologic composition common to the estate. It is dark in color and rich when young, with dominant flavors of blackcurrant.
My review: It had a very distinct and pungent smell to it. I found it to be mildly bitter with a strong after taste without much grape.
Tasted with food or not: none.
