Wine review 1 : La Vieille Ferme

A $7.99 wine from Whole Food!
The grapes for this wine are harvested from one of the wineyards in the Rhone Valley. It is a red wine with the blend of Grenache, Syrah, Carignan, and Cinsault grapes. As the label describes it is "full of fruit and spice aromas, it has soft tannins and good body".

It felt like a medium bodied wine, with less tannin than say Carbenet Sauvignon. It smells relatively sweet and of some alcohol. It is fairly easy to drink depending on how you want to drink it! You could sip it which starts out sweet and leaves a tingling sensation on the tongue tip, or you could gargle the wine which enables you to taste the frutiness of the wine and of course the spices in your palette.

Overall I give it a 7/10, it's cheap and easy to drink!
