N Rhône Syrah thing going on. Meaty af. $15 S — 5 years ago
Doing the typical “Two sides of the Loire” comparative tasting.
Muted on the nose with shy green grass & nettle + starts showing a very interesting waxy note after some time. More vivid on the palate, though still defined rather by its acidic structure than fruit. Ripe gooseberries, green apples and the grass again. Finishes off with an austere flinty, slightly steely note.
Not bad but quite far from what Sancerre is capable of. — 6 years ago
One of the most beautiful whites I have had in ages. — 8 years ago
Blend of Grenache (65%), Syrah (15%), Mourvèdre (15%) and Cinsault (10%). Dark ruby color. Aromas of black cherry, spices, violets and just a bit of leather. Black cherry and blueberry fruit lead the palate with touches of those sweet spices, roasted meat and minerals. Slight saline note on the long and lingering finish. Full bodied well structured and powerful. Excellent balance and complexity. Thanks for opening this one, Keith S! — 10 months ago

John has this right: old school. It’s rich and has plenty of unripe strawberry and garrigue and tart cherries going on. Love it. Not too complex but great value. 2023

It’s quite sweet but I like it. Kinda like cranberry juice wine? — 4 years ago

Like a Pinot noir with a bit of funky hay and some overripe blackberries with a hint of clove... super yum. A few layers, fruit, then spice, but simple enough to enjoy anytime. — 6 years ago
A lovely red wine for our evening! — 8 years ago
