Delightful, well-balanced SB. Green apple, freshly mown grass, and the faintest green pepper. A bit of minerally zip like a light rain on gravel. — 9 months ago

Slammin! Shroomy spice and plum — 8 months ago
Merlot dominates this blend but there is some Cabernet Sauvignon and some Cabernet Franc blended in. Medium ruby color with a slight clear meniscus. Fruit forward aromas and flavors of blackberry, black cherry, dark plum, baking spices and cedar. Medium-plus finish. Medium body and very silky tannins. Well balanced/layered acidity and a very silky texture. A bit more austere than a traditional Medoc red blend. At peak. — 9 months ago
2024 enjoyed 5/2026. tasted in lineup of Rhône Blanc, mostly rich and oily. this would have shown better if we started with this. I really like, I prefer the more mineral style -which is this. subtle white flowers, honeydew, under ripe peach. lemon curd showing after opening. — a month ago
Reddish in color with medium intensity.
Fresh picked cherries and strawberries on the nose with light chocolates notes.
Medium bodied with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with cherries, strawberries, raspberries, chocolates, earth and spices.
Medium plus on the finish with fine grained tannins and raspberries.
This is a very young Grenache blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Complex and engaging. Nicely balanced and spicy. The high alcohol is well integrated already.
Ripe and fresh tasting at this point, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
Easy drinking and good by itself as a sipping wine.
A blend of 75% Grenache and 15% Syrah with some Mourvedre and Cinsault. Aged mostly in concrete vats for 12 months.
16% alcohol by volume.

This delicious 3 year old Grenache blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape is starting to drink beautifully now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years.
Still young, and from the great 2022 vintage. Showing good potential to become a 94+ point wine.
Rich and fruit forward. Complex with a soft mouthfeel. Soft, pure and elegant.
The high alcohol is very well integrated. Spicy and entertaining. Well structured and precise.
Good by itself as a sipping wine.
