Smooth but flavourful! Love this one — 4 years ago
Dried cherry, leather and cedar. Very dry extract, good balance of acidity and tannin. Wears its high alcohol lightly, with a beguiling savoury, liquorice and cola finish. — 7 years ago

Amazing. Medium body, bright and clean but a full flavor all around. Will take more notes next time, but just wow. — 2 years ago
Nose has raw honey, wilted white daffodils, cold wax, faint green herbs, white peach and limestone pebbles.
Palate has honey drizzle on cut under-ripe peach, (light) grapefruit pith, waxy yellow apple, warm white melon, mild salinity, touch of sweetness and slight tannic grip on the long finish.
A beautiful wine, likely can hold until 2023-25 under proper storage conditions.
We definitely do not drink enough Roussillon blancs, I forget how delicious the region is.
40% Grenache Blanc / 40% Roussane / 20% Macabeu — 5 years ago
Crazy amount of fruity jam nose hitting the decanter, super dark, extracted color. A blend of 50% Carignan, 30% Syrah and 20% Grenache Noir.
Cherry, blueberry, blackberry, plum on the palate, so much fruit going on, it's just difficult to describe. Medium-light tannins, slight spicy note with cocoa on the medium-long finish.
We picked these bottles up a year ago after a tasting... Just getting to them now, they needed time to settle in. This is a crazy value at the $40 we paid, I will go hunt for more, this is drinking awesome, but 3-4 years could be stellar. — 7 years ago
