Nov 22nd, 2018Lots of fresh thyme, lavender and a smoky, resinous quality on the palate. Very intense minerality.

Sep 25th, 20182012 vintage. Dark, plum red color. Gingerbread, toasty vanilla, and dark chocolate notes on the nose. Very modern style. Fig, plum, soy, fresh ripe blueberry and blackberry liquor caress the palate. Dark Chocolate covered blueberries. The wine is round and plump, very generous, with polished grip on the long finish. Very good for its price point ($19.99)

1 person found it helpfulFeb 12th, 2015This wine has really come along well since the last time I had it. Fresh raspberry, rhubarb pie, white peppercorn, salted meat. Mouth filling with really pleasant acidity. A dead ringer for CDP.

Jun 14th, 2015Wow. Really great. Wonderful with lamb. Fruity, balanced with classic Rhône understory notes. (I don’t think this is a Cote de Rhône Village — listing may be wrong.)
