Selected organic grapes of Garnacha, Carignan, Merlot, Syrah. Still hot and tannic, but here the fruit is struggling better and emerges at nose and taste. Very good.

A smooth velvety flow in your mouth with hints of mocha and sweet red fruit with a nice, albeit youthful finish.

2004 vintage: WOW!
Blast of ripe fruit... layered, complex. It is still emerging, but you can drink now. I will save my five bottles for a few years..

This is a new wine term: it's yumster.

Wow! A blast of ripe fruit & some earthy barnyard cloaked in an initial hot nose. Dark cherry & currants on the palate... A new world Rhone style blend without the spice. Soft on the palate with a long finish. This is a fine offering enjoyed with roast duck with cherry/port reduction. Terrific match!

Rockin brambleberry and violet with minerality in spades. Submerged tannins combined with great length and purity.
