"The world is changing for me re all things 'low end' Rhone. This is miles away from MC's budget offerings from a decade ago. Clean, fruit driven, accessible, but I need to stress does not shy away from the norms of the AOC - ripe berries, a hint of game, minor stinky notes. Can do a BBQ but won't offend those from the home country. What it lacks is the mushy, fuzzy, muted super gamey character. Ok, sure, maybe lacking some true terroir but if you want drink the dirt there's about a million other Chapoutier wines on the market. Remember, this is $19.99, and on this factor alone has no peer in the Oz market." Stewart - Cloudwine
