Very good GSM blend. Bought additional bottles. Top 10 2017 tasting at NCWC. Re-Tasting 12/26/17 - fantastic. Taking the unusual step of upping by two points to 92. Re-affirmed 6/21/18. Summer solstice calls for this delicious wine.

Love it. Every vintage. Great fruit. Balanced. Little spice and earth. Nice finish. $20 well spent.

This is one of the better vintages of this cuvée that I can recall. Juicy raspberries, fresh thyme, and white pepper in a medium bodied, easy drinking style. A good buy for $20, I could see buying this by the case for Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. I would drink it over the next two years, though, as I don’t think it has the structure for longer cellaring.
