Domaine le Pech d’Andre, Caracole d’Aramon 2016, Cotes du Brian IGP, France

Tasting Note: An easygoing French red blend to pair with a midweek meal.

Medium-intensity ruby in color, this wine has a medium-intensity nose of red plum, bramble, strawberry, red cherry and blossom.

On the palate the dry, medium-bodied red blend delivers medium-intensity flavors suggested on the nose supported by medium acidity and soft, medium tannin.

A good straightforward, versatile, French red wine that is more characterful as a whole than many wines in the midweek-wine category.
