Ripe brambly purple fruit, potpourri and dried herbs on the nose, palate is plush with firm, dry tannins and surprising tang for a Grenache based wine. Raspberries and purple plums, sun baked rocks. Splendid value at around $25

Decanted. Not bad, a little tart for me. Agglomerate with disks. SS

Brett killed the fruit profile but it had signs of a nice texture and structure. Perhaps lacking some acidity. With burgers and potato chips, there were no complaints.

Playing some catch up. Dark berries & plums on the palate with plenty of fresh & textural notes. Great acidity & surprising complexity. More tannin than expected, but the structure is welcome.

Rhubarb, raspberry, an ashen quality, thyme, a mineral finish, the pillowiest tannins ever. Airy yet intense

Catching a lot of Syrah in the blend. Smooth and delicious.
