Bright red fruit, red plum, ripe raspberry and a hint of cranberry. Slick tannins that grab slowly and hang on pleasantly. Yum!

Love the spice level here. Potpourri in the nose, silk and elegance in the mouthfeel. Soft tannins wrap the blue and red fruit very nicely. 3 year old barrels or more used on this. No new oak.

Savory, garrigue goodness. Nice acid spine keeps everything fresh. Spicy, meaty and tempting for another glass.

Cinnamon and mild aroma of cloves on the nose.

On the palette, the wine is lithe. Mild white pepper mingles with cherries and licorice. Tannins are fully resolved. This wine is ready to be consumed over the next 24 months. Cellaring beyond this point may not add anything.

Violets. Tar. Black fruit. Def peppery. Minerality but ripe fruit.

Blueberries, ripe red fruits, black olive, pepper, smoked meat. Medium acidity, med+ tannins and a long finish. Much bigger and in your face than lagniappe.
