40/30/30 GSM, 125 cases made. Dense purple red. Vanilla, fresh corn, spearmint and prune notes in nose. Mint and red berries flavors, moderate skin astringency. Nice flavor profile, but slightly preferred the 2013 to this 2014 vintage.

Aug 22nd, 2020This is a user-friendly wine. 40% Grenache, 30% each Syrah and Mourvèdre. Pure ripe, dark berry fruit; fragrant baking spices, whiffs of high-toned wood smoke. Soft and mouthfilling, but not jammy or out of balance. Some soft tannin, it carries its 14.5% well.
