What an elegant, almost Burgundian thing. As the Languedoc becomes increasingly hotter, this consistently checks in at 13% abv. 55% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 15% Carignan, given a long cold soak before fermentation, then polished in old Champy Volnay barrels. Fraises, framboises and an appropriate bittering element from the Carignan. Think of it as the anti-Orin Swift.

Jun 5th, 2018Best of what we got at Moore brothers. Less bold than others we’ve had from the same region. Red fruit but not candied. Balanced. Good without food.

Dec 2nd, 2016Dark ruby in color with black cherry, raspberry & cassis. The mouth feel is chewy yet elegant, with black and red fruit on the nose.
