amazing value

Black pepper, garrigue, dry prune on a silky palate. Very nice.

Roussanne Roussanne, what a tremendous grape! Cracking producer!

Not identified right away. Had it a few days ago. I don’t recall the vintage. It was soft, lots of black fruit, medium tannins.

Great value.

Fruit, flat, no mouthfeel

Disappointing. Very sweet fruit dominated. Was more baked California than N. Rhône.

Bizarrely silky.

There are some exceptional wines out there that are a steal when it comes to price. This is definitely one of them.

If you're ready to branch out from Cabs, then give this bottle a try. You will be very pleasantly surprised.
