Lots of juicy blue fruit. Black pepper and earth. Just a little savory. Tremendous Southern Rhône QPR and a great match for Texas style BBQ if you can believe it — 8 months ago

Sickly sweet cherry plum syrup on the nose with notes of vanilla and cloves. Luscious mouthfeel. Liquid smoke and chambord, grilled plums, and raspberry jam on the palate. Mild tannins. Long luxurious finish. The alcohol level is just too high. — 8 months ago

Drinking with Mom, Dad, and Emily in France at Alain Jaume! Color is also garnet but with a little more purple. Apparently it is 50 Grenache and 50 Syrah and Mouve. The nose is darker red fruit and some spice. Taste is bright and spicy and fades into darker red fruit. Definitely leather and smoke. Pretty good. — 10 months ago
