Black pepper and smoke on the nose. The pallet has spice, soft tannins, dark dried fruits, with a decent amount of acid to balance it out. Also, the wine maker is super passionate about his wines and it shows!

Tasty, but not very spicy. Was expecting more spice and complexity. Good plums and cherries and soft fruit. Nice gamey finish.

Nose suggests black currant and green pepper with hints of wild herbs. Soft tannins and delicate with distinctive fruitiness. This is the wine I want to come home to at the end of a great day. Happy and just mature enough.

Perfectly lovely Grenache/Syrah with some meatiness, garrigue and violet to go along with rich dark fruit.
