Completely enamored, especially when I found out the price. Aromatic spice, intense fruit and texture with balanced grip.

I don't always drink Faugères during the summer, but when I do do I want it to be one with elegance, finesse and acidity like this one

Deep color; plums and earth, dried herbs, maybe strawberries or raspberries when it opens up; silky tannins

Was looking for an aromatic red #wine alternative for turkey day and nailed it!

Lightly textured, potpourri, dried cranberries with nice acidity and moderate tannin.

Love. Very smooth texture and silky tannins. Alluring aromatics, followed by bright red fruit flavors of strawberry, raspberry, and pomegranate. Some warm baking spices, too. Marvelous value on top of it all! 40% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 30% Carignan. 8/28/22.

Nice blackberry - cranberry flavours that are somehow both tart and a bit sweet at the same time.

Small price ($15), big wine. There's stuff going on and it all comes together nicely. I'm happy. Purple and fresh. Lush, chewable. Syrah in the drivers seat. Bacon fat, black olive, wild Maine blueberry, violet. Powerful lush chewy palate. Black little berries with tar, milk chocolate.
