Deep ruby with aromas of ripe black fruits and sweet spice, blend of Grenache and Syrah. On the palate flavors of blackberry, plum and cherry with floral spice, licorice and herb. Fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit, espresso and floral spice and mineral character.

Honeyed nose, with peach, apricot, citrus, wet stones, subtle oak and med acid. Oak comes through more on the palate, but isn't intrusive. Nutty, medium bodied, waxy and round in the mouth. Intriguing wine.. ABV a bit up there for me, 14%, but balanced. I'm a fan. BBQ pork loin working well.

Inviting peach aromas on the nose with a subtle oaky creaminess followed by a stony, nutty maturity on the palate. Featuring three of my favourite grapes - Roussanne, Grenache Blanc, and Marsanne - this wine is ageing very well. @Wilson Daniels

Really good, love when oak is a side note, just enough to round out flavors and not dominate the conversation, like a good friend, knows when to listen and knows when to talk...

Powerful, pungent and sweetly scented aromas, including ripe peach, oriental spices and Red Light District perfume, this is a large-scaled wine. Impressive on the palate, yet its lowish acidity shortens the rich flavors on the finish.
