Château Simone Palette Red Rhone Blend 2013

Opened about an hour prior to service. The 2011 Chateau Simone pours a slightly turbid garnet color. Right off the first pour, this certainly isn’t faking the funk on a nasty dunk. Redolent of tart cherry, pomegranate, cranberry, cow pasture, red flowers, earth, mushrooms and grilled spiced meats. On the palate, the fruit and non-fruits are confirmed accompanied by stiff tannins and acid. The finish is long and satisfying. A wild yet charming wine. This was a fabulous pairing with grilled lamb chops. Drink now or over the next 5-10 years.

Wow This is a special and cool wine! This is a benchmark wine for my wine journey: the most I've ever payed (gambled) on a wine I've never previously tried. This wine is quite bretty on the nose but really changes on the palate. I really didn't know how to describe it. Barnyard at first and then it morphs into a berry salad... The more I drank it the more I fell in love. It's such a deceptively simple yet amazing wine. Really a gem! So glad I found this lovely bottle. Definitely try this! It's worth what you pay for it!

Serious stuffing here - acid, minerals and plenty of red fruit and layers of goodness over the course of the evening.
