Château Ollieux Romanis
Les Ollieux Romanis Corbières Red Blend 2016
Vacationing in Europe is all about intriguing wine discoveries. Here’s a #corbieres red blend of semi-dried #syrah , #grenache and #carignan. First pour reveals a rich nose of raisins with a touch of toasted oak and vanilla. It’s a full-bodied red and like many wines of France, I find it really improves after a day after uncorking. This wine held up well paired with lamb masala curry. — 6 years ago

Château Coulon
"Ombres et Lumières" Corbières Syrah Blend
Vintage 2017 - 40% syrah 30% carignan 15% grenache and 15% mourvèdre / I can’t imagine that someone with passion for wine does not like this wine. Soft tannins that gives tension, wagonloads of cherries. #corbieres — 7 years ago
Château Maylandie
Villa Ferrae Corbières-Boutenac 2014
Friday night, what should I pick up at the neighborhood PCC? Why, this little Languedoc red blend, and on sale? Well, ok then! This bottle is 40% Grenache, 30% Carignan, 30% Syrah from the Corbières-Boutenac AOC, with the Boutenac terroir receiving AOC status in 2005. The wine region is in the south of France, nestled between the Mediterranean and the Spanish border with 95% of the wine coming out of Languedoc, and Corbières especially, being red wine. This specific winery has been operating since 1987, with grapes growing on and off on their farms since Roman times. The bottle has a sticker that indicates a gold medal place in the 2016 Concours des Grands Vins de France à Macon - not sure I'm on board with that, however paired with a rich spinach risotto with crispy leaks, it served its purpose nicely. ~$17 | #languedoc #corbieres #redblend
On the eyes: Deep, concentrated, ruby red, med stain, med tears, no gas/floc.
On the nose: Burnt orange peel, red plum, raspberry, bit of vanilla, nutmeg. Med alcohol.
On the tongue: Med+ tannin, med+ acid, med alcohol, med body, a bit chewy. Bright raspberry, ripe plum, a bit of tobacco, a bit peppery, good mineralty. Not much of a finish - but quite pleasant with food. Decant and let it open! — 8 years ago
