Review from Decanter: "A Côtes du Rhône that is packed full of bright plump fruit, blueberries, sweet sticky cherries, this has a really turbo-charged fruit profile. Tasty and sweet-fruited, it's fairly rich but still fresh enough for more than one glass. A medium tannic structure lends support to this tasty, loveable wine." -92
Wine Folly: The GSM Blend is a versatile food pairing wine that works particularly well with dishes featuring Mediterranean spices including red pepper, sage, rosemary, and olives.
Personal Review: This wine has a very heavy and upfront berry flavor profile. I mainly tasted blackberries but also hints of blueberry. It has a medium body. It is quite tannic but extremely well-balanced and smooth despite the high alcohol content. The bottle said to serve at 59 degrees, so I tried this wine both slightly chilled and at room temperature. I couldn't tell much of a difference between the two.
