Simple, tasty and only $6.99 at Costco, we review the Joseph Castan Tresor du Rhone Red.
A red blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah from the Rhone Valley of France.
The wine has just 0.8 g/L of residual sugar and a small quantity of the Syrah is made using carbonic maceration.
The Joseph Castan Tresor du Rhone has an SRP of $25. We found it at Costco for just $6.99. It is imported by Misa Imports.
From the bottle:
This is a deep, dark red wine with nice mauve reflections. The delicate nose successively releases blackberry, blueberry, blackcurrant and violets scents. After a fresh, pleasant attack on the palate, one’s mouth is filled with roundness and texture. However, the tannins remain silky and provide a melted sensation which opens onto a fruity final persistence.
13.5% Alcohol
The aroma on the 2019 Joseph Castan Tresor du Rhone Red is a bit austere, but still attractive featuring cherry and other berry notes tending towards cranberry along with touches of dried herbs and mineral notes. It also opens up a bit more with some air.
Taking a sip reveals a fresh, smooth, simple and tasty wine with flavors similar to the nose. It could use a bit more depth, but it is easy to drink and satisfying nonetheless.
It ends dry and quite long on the finish and was similar on day 2. It won’t blow your socks off but at just $6.99, this is a nice value and a good example of a Cotes du Rhone, just give it some time to breathe.
