Back for a new vintage to mourn the last day of summer and celebrate the start of fall (or should that be the other way around?) Salmon pink with an orange tinge, excellent clarity. Cherry flower and lemon in nose, cherry, rose petal and lemon-grapefruit rind in mouth. (Others taste watermelon rind; I wouldn’t disagree). Orange with length in finish. Slightly tart and slightly bitter with minerality, some spritz and skin astringency as well. 69/15/9/7 blend of Syrah, Cinsault, Grenache and Mourvedre. Not as good as the 2015 (if my memory is reliable) but still great value
