Trying at the Wine Vault. Subtle aromas of cherry, slightly funky. Rich fruit and lots of depth to taste. Loved by the big reds group I’m with. — 3 years ago
The grape variety is Marsanne, not Syrah.
Pronounced peach and honey aromas, some ginger, minerality, acacia and nutty aromas.
An elegant and savoury finish! — 3 months ago
Talk about the perfect wine for the meal. We did local heirloom tomatoes, Barata cheese, and it held its own. Fois gras with caramelized onions. It definitely started to shine. She had the seared pork chop with polenta, and I had the duck trio which consisted of duck breast and homemade duck sausage. Not only the wine hold its own and definitely made the night more memorable. You can never separate the food from the wine.  — 3 months ago

Really nice CdP coasting in its prime. Good vibrant garnet color and an enticing savory mature fruited earthy nose that opened in half hour. Lively texture and palate, good long finish. — 3 years ago
