2019 Vintage - I like this wine for its wild Character (60%-Carignan, 30%-Grenache Noir, 10% -Syrah ) the Carignan planted in the 1950’s - Dark purple rim, wild dark fruit, plum , spice , oregano, aged in used French oak barrels and cement tank - enjoyable wine for $16 dollars

Really good with our home cooked steaks. lighter and red fruity on the front end but finishes with some depth and dark smoke. Not usually our preferred style but really good with the right meal.

Sweeter than expected and more bright fruit (strawberry).
Lacking body.

Incredible value. Can’t believe this costs $20+. Kermit Lynch selection. Beautiful bouquet of red fruits and delicate floral elements. Acidity is right on point and its silky mouthfeel is delightful. Seek this out and enjoy with simple roast chicken. 60% Carignan from vineyards planted in 1904, 30% Grenache and 10% Mourvedre. Soil: Silica, clay and limestone.

Super concentrated fruit, meaty, dense, layered. Fruit and tapenade on nose. Interesting. Great quality for price.
