Juicy, dark fruit, gentle tannins. Seemed to get more tannic on subsequent days, oddly.

Seemed younger than a bottle consumed 3 weeks ago. But, that’s probably my palate, after consuming an older wine earlier in the evening. Anyway, it’s an excellent value Southern Rhône style red blend.

This is an excellent mid-weight CA Rhône blend. I’ve had several vintages and this might be the best I’ve had to date.

One to buy by the case.
