Appellation - Vin de Pays de Vaucluse
Grape - Grenache blend, sadly I can't recall the details. Will correct soon.
Nose/Scent - This is a strange smelling wine. Sticking your nose in the glass gives a lasting impression of some kind of almost antiseptic scent. There's an astringent quality that overpowers some of the fruity or floral notes that are obviously pleasant.
Mouthfeel - This is a light wine. There isn't much body, it's a little "thin," but it is not unpleasant.
Taste - This is a very pleasant wine to sip. It's not exciting to taste, but the apparent fruit and acid make for an easy wine to sip or drink happily.
Finish - Not much lasting effect. Some of the acid lingers and a tiny bit of tannin becomes apparent, but overall, there isn't much lasting impression.
Balance - This is a wine with just a bit of sweetness, very little tannin, and quite a lot of acid. However, the acid fits. Even though there's a lot of acid, it tastes very pleasant.
Recommendation - Great wine to have around for opening casually. I picked up a handful.
Perceived Value - For $16 at Vin Vino Wine, this seemed quite a value. It's not a blockbuster by any stretch, but it's pleasant, and never veers towards insipid or dull as many cheap wines can. I don't know if I would pay much more, but I'm very happy at this price.
