Similar body style to a typical North Coast Pinot Noir. Strawberry, Bing cherry, black tea, cocoa powder, and forest floor. Despite it being a GSM blend (heavy on the Grenache at 68%), this will have more appeal as an alternative for Pinot Noir fans than it will for Rhone buffs.

Bright fruit up front, but a boring back end.

Great GSM blend for the price. Had to let it breathe for a bit before it opened up and talked to me.

It was alright, but it may have turned in transit.

Fruity and soft. But not in a bad way. The acidity and tannins are present in the finish giving this wine a nice linger. It's buttery as well. Nice dark fruit but a bit on the sweet side. Give this 30-40 minutes to open up and it becomes a much more balanced wine. I prefer a good Chateneuf De Pape but a Great wine for a California cab drinker to get a taste of Rhone.
