The term ‘L’Egerie’ is French for ‘muse’ as Chris Peterson has crafted another stunning new Rose wine, blending 65% Grenache and 35% Mourvedre. Showing off its beautiful pale color, the wine opens with really good aromatic range, from salted Marcona almond to ripe strawberry, as well as melon and shades of Mandarin orange zest that all combine on the nose. The silky texture truly entices and collects momentum with the wonderful bright minerality of the wine. Elegant, yet showing good depth, the wine unveils bright red raspberry, strawberry and honeydew melon flavors that connect with the great sense of minerality. This finishes extremely long. Try to get your hands on this while it lasts. Drink 2019-2026- 92 — 6 years ago

Wonderfully peppery, dark fruit flavors smooth tannins — 5 years ago
Silky blackberry and vanilla flavors. The oak is well-integrated and there’s a pleasant acidity as well. Long finish, and definitely enjoyable. — 7 years ago
This is bottle #2 opened a few months later and still wow. Continues to improve with age. Still has that lovely Syrah bite but it's smoothed out a bit. — 9 years ago

This one is really starting to shine, my friends.
Dark plums, cassis and cherries. Coffee grounds, tobacco leaf and cedar. A ripe tannine structure and a cooler kind of freshness in the core makes this highly drinkable, alluring and exciting.
Wonderful! — 3 months ago
