Nice smooth GSM blend if a bit too mellow. A great value for sure. Gerard Bertrand always reliable. (90 pts from WS)

5 years on for this southern Frenchie. GSM. Dark color. Looks like black cherry skins. Smells floral with hints of spice box. The spices of autumn. Violets and bearded Iris are the flowers. Hint of dark plum candy (not candied, but a hard candy). Flavors are dusted truffles and cherry Black Forest cake. Dry and just a touch bittersweet. Makes the grade for southern French red. Has a sun-baked background and some deep, dense flavors that can hold up a bit long than the five years it’s been around I’m sure. Label says clay, limestone soils. They come through. This is a nice drinking wine from the massive Gérard Bertrand portfolio.

Beautiful blend from France! Love how easy drinking it is alone and pairs great with food. Very balanced! Fruity, medium bodied, light on tannins so not super dry.

The group decided this was a great bottle of wine...
Silky start, light fruit and delightful garden fragrance. Light grip on the finish. Easy to drink and enjoy.
