Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Fresh cherries on the nose with chocolate notes.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing red cherries, currants, plums, licorice, chocolates, herbs and earth.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a delicious Grenache blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Rich and powerful. Well balanced and complex. The high alcohol is well integrated already.
Nicely Structured and tasty, with a
Northern Rhone feel. Interesting stuff.
Still young, but already drinking beautifully. A great vintage that is already showing its potential. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.
Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food.
A blend of 80% Grenache, 10% Syrah and 10% Mourvedre. Aged in mostly concrete vats.
15% alcohol by volume.
92 points.

Picked this up a few months ago from the state store when I saw Louis Dressner. Seems different from the only other fleurie I’ve had. Lots of earth juice with raspberry. — 6 years ago

On the nose; sweet & sour cherries, strawberries, under ripened tangerines, black cherries, brioche, nice volcanic minerals and red & pink roses.
The body is rich. Sweet & sour cherries, strawberries, under ripened tangerines, black cherries, ripe rhubarb notes, more brioche than the nose, seashells & oysters, nice volcanic minerals and red & pink roses. — 8 years ago
Nose - lilacs, soil, clay amphora and erasers! (Haha) Flavors - cranberry and tart blueberries. Mouthfeel - a bit sharp and acidic with a semi dry finish some tannins but not too much. Look - gorgeous garnet color. Food - went sooo very well with the lamb my hubs made. — 2 months ago

Light-med body, dry, acidic. Mineral cherry soil. — 4 months ago
Light garnet color with a small ruby core. Aromas of wet soil, red berries and dried rose petals. Flavors of raspberries, red currants, mushrooms and savory spices. Long lasting finish. Gripping acidity with very silky tannins. Light bodied and quite savory but still full of finesse. Needs a bit of aeration to fully open up. Solid value and nice mid-week option. Thanks for the bottle, Kase. — 4 months ago
Very nice Pinot. Good cherry notes and a little earthy. Paired well with a beef stew — 9 months ago
Garnet in color. Intense aroma of red licorice, cranberry, dried cherries, and smoke. Incredible earthy palate that tastes of campfire and unsweetened chocolate. It finishes with very mild tannins and long lingering flavor of earth , like autumn leaves on a forest floor. — 5 years ago
