Clean, deep ruby with dark fruit aromas. Blackberry and plum with rustic spice. Medium body supple tannins, lively acidity, medium finish ending with sweet spice.

Very typical southern Rhone GSM. A little rough around the edges but great fruit and nice smooth mouthfeel. Needed to breath for about an hour to reach its pinnacle. Well integrated and all that is good with old world wine.

Wasn't that impressed, though I may have drank it before letting it breathe enough, then too late (after it had been left out too long). A little funny smelling, and the taste really seemed a bit flat.

Robust little CdR with raspberries, blueberries, baking spice, and yes, a little garrigue. Would drink again

Smooth red with tart raspberry flavors. Dope pairing with Minestrone, dont miss out, definitely a breather.

Barnyard funk in the nose. Creamy dark fruit and spice on the palate with more spice and moderate plus acid in the finish. I had three excellent Rhône wines in one evening, including a top notch Gigondas that this held up to. At 2016 this Rhône is drinking well at a young age.

Didn't care for it. Decent aroma but bland flavor. Sort of on the tannic end
