Peppery, sour, funky, kinda generic red-ish. Used in tonight’s stew so I hope it’s good lol 😅

Fully tuned up and ready to drink with all the food you can throw at it. Villages quality stability with dried raspberries, red plums, and red ruby grapefruit up front from the Grenache, but a spicy black pepper and gaminess from the Syrah keeps the back end savory. Finishes herbal with notes of Garrigue found in the Mediterranean soils of the Southern Rhône. Acid is dialed in nicely, and you get more grape tannins rather than wood tannins. Noticeable cinnamon, clove, and saddle from neutral oak treatment. In no way does it get in the way of the fruit. Thanks for letting me think out loud, #delectable

The 2014 vintage has less intensity than other years but is still a great buy. I had it tonight with a venison pasta dish and the gaminess really felt like a nice match here.

Easy luscious fruit, good Rhone structure, in a new world style. Light acid:oak. Classy. I would not pair this with anything as delicate as it is.

Tried something new to on the patio this evening. Cherries, licorice and spices up front. Seems nice and light, but has medium plus lingering tannins.
