Winery Review: Chateau Massiac's red wine is a blend of 75% Syrah and 25% Carignan. The vines are grown in rocky clay-limestone soil, a geologic composition common to the estate. It s dark in color and rich when young, when dominant flavors of blackcurrant. These primary fruit aromas give way to herb/garrigue characteristics as the wine opens.
My Review: I felt that this was a very smooth wine. It did not have a very sweet taste, but was very good. It did not smell very good at all. I am not sure how to describe the smell, but it was not pleasant.
