1 person found it helpfulJan 18th, 2015Similar body style to a typical North Coast Pinot Noir. Strawberry, Bing cherry, black tea, cocoa powder, and forest floor. Despite it being a GSM blend (heavy on the Grenache at 68%), this will have more appeal as an alternative for Pinot Noir fans than it will for Rhone buffs.

Dec 3rd, 2022Great GSM blend for the price. Had to let it breathe for a bit before it opened up and talked to me.

Aug 25th, 2016Fruity and soft. But not in a bad way. The acidity and tannins are present in the finish giving this wine a nice linger. It's buttery as well. Nice dark fruit but a bit on the sweet side. Give this 30-40 minutes to open up and it becomes a much more balanced wine. I prefer a good Chateneuf De Pape but a Great wine for a California cab drinker to get a taste of Rhone.
