Domaine de Fontsainte Corbierès Rouge, 2020.

$19 from Kermit Lynch.

Lauren says, “Ruby red. Aroma of oak, mushrooms, and eucalyptus. Medium bodied. Decent acidity. Flavor of sour cherries and gasoline. Not my type of wine but I understand the appeal to something unique. I just really don’t like the finish on this wine. 5.5/10.”

Zach says, “ Ruby red with a salmon rim in the glass. Nose is very inorganic. I get notes of earth and wet soil, plastic, dried herbs, and cherry. Full bodied. Mild to moderate tannin. Very acidic. Tart, metallic fruity finish. Smells like an expensive wine, but overall the individual components don’t add up. I don’t hate it but I also don’t want to drink much more of it. 6/10.”
