This is a really young Rhone style red blend from Paso Robles. Fruit forward with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel. Spicy and tangy.
Good right out of the bottle and better with after 90 minutes of airtime. Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.
Well balanced and easy drinking. Good by itself or with food.
A blend of 40% Mourvedre, 28% Grenache, 22% Syrah, 4% Vaccarese, 3% Counoise and 3% Cinsault.
13.5% alcohol by volume.

Delicious. Loads of dark fruit, black plum, black cherry, cassis, etc. plus some spice plus some earthy olive notes. And great structure with a long finish. — a month ago
The same Tempier game - deep, textbook, best at cellar temp for nuanced aromas and weighted viscosity.
2018 is losing its fruit, at the end of the window where hints and dried versions of fresh fruit and spices still hang around.
Dried orange peel, grapefruit, peach, and soft red melon and furry raspberry.

Blend of Grenache (34%), Barbera (32%), Counoise (16%), Mourvèdre (14%) and 4% other assorted red grapes. Light salmon pink color. Aromas of citrus fruits, red berries and white flowers. Flavors of strawberries, raspberries, orange, green melon, grapefruit and lemon. Lovely hint of salty and chalky minerality on the finish. Creamy texture (lees contact?) and very crisp acidity. Light bodied, clean and refreshing. Wonderful pairing with a salad. — 7 days ago
