This Rhône grape blend - 60% Grenache, 40% Syrah - shows a medium dark hue in the glass and emits perfumed black cherry alongside earthy notes. There is a bit of Rhônish funk to it, with an extreme minerality. Dark shadings on the cherry fruit mark the palate, with a rough-hewn oak spice. Nice acidity gives it a refreshing mouthfeel and the finish carries a bit of tartness, for quite a while.
