Blend of Grenache (70%), Syrah (20%) and Mourvèdre (10%). Dark ruby color with a garnet meniscus. Aromas of black berry/cherry fruit, purple flowers, leather, garrigue and dried herbs. Flavors of dried blackberry and red and black cherry fruit, tobacco, black pepper, red and black licorice and a bit of smoked meat. Medium-plus body and finish. Plus acidity, nice structure and nicely smoothed out tannins. Well aged and hitting its peak. Appreciate you opening this one, Ron B!

A solid Rhone. Nice with the cassoulet.

Nose is red fruit, cedar, and oak with a hint of clove and cinnamon. Mulled fruit predominates on the palate accented by cedar, leather, and tobacco. Medium bodied and balanced with moderate acid and chewy tannins in the finish. Not as flashy as better vintages, but solid and drinking well now.
