Eminently quaffable #costieresdenimes ; brier black/purple berries, cassis, soft spicy aromas, plush on palate with succulent acidity underlayment, dark cocoa and coffee notes mid-palate through finish, tannins that build deceptively with each sip. This could be even better in half a decade but delicious Rhône blend even today - 70% #syrah 30% #grenache .

Good wine coordinated via friend Teri. Floral taste. Nice fruits and light finish. Buy again if less than $20.

Smooth, but had just tons of sediment. Was easy drinking, but I wasn’t wowed.

2015. Lacking the earthiness of my favorite Rhones, but good BlackBerry, garrigue, good balance w appropriate acidity, moderate finish. Decent every day wine for pork, chicken, etc.

I don't get the low scores, this is a great wine for pizza night. 60% Syrah 40% Grenache. Fruity, good. Tart (but good), touch of stem and briny finish.
