fantastic find: was craving a legit southern French wine, something authentic w/plenty of terroir and this delivered. this is their cuvée called "Second Effort" which is only made in the best vintages: a deep dark ruby, the nose was gorgeous w/liqueur like red raspberry, black raspberry, cherry, blackberry then you get whiffs of white pepper, meat, mineral, dried herbs, savory, sweet Earth then the palate reflects the nose and was luscious, elegantly balanced w/a long lingering finish. — a year ago

Mineralistic and spicy on the nose, with a hint of cherries and maybe even a bit of varnish. Tastes of dark chocolate and raspberries with a slight chalkiness. Medium to full bodied. Still young with strong tannins. — 7 years ago
Wonderful glass of red. Very easy to drink; could have finished the whole bottle. — 12 years ago
This is a great value in a gutsy, balanced fall-weight red. 62% Grenache 38% Syrah. Nose shows rich Grenache raspberry liqueur/kirsch fruit. Terrific balance and concentration of flavor on the palate. Tannins surprisingly soft. The Grenache dominates here, with Syrah animal/mineral notes making an entrance in the second half of the finish. Impressed! This area in SW France is a source for value red. — a year ago
