Herbs and green olives. Beautiful black and smoky fruit.

Evolving nicely, starting to reveal more savory and fresh herbal qualities in spaces where it used to be just fruit. Nice to have a SBC Rhone blend that's not trying to turn it up to 11.

Restrained for Jaffurs, in a good way. Mourvedre leading the way, giving a nice funky, wild aspect to this wine. Really well balanced CA blend.

Incredibly well balanced GSM. Jaffurs does such a great job blending, allowing each varietal to speak for itself. This one has aged beautifully.

Delicious wine. Benefits greatly from decanting. Firm pleasurable tannins. This wine is a keeper and in 3-4 years will be amazing. Rating the wine where it is now. Will buy more bottles to lay down.👍🏼

50% Mourvèdre 33% Grenache 17% Syrah. This blend is a bit on the lighter side but went very well with homemade manicotti. The wine garnered the score because of its strong finish.
