Berries, berries everywhere, but with enough stones for food. Fantastic.

Nice smooth fruits w blackberries up front. Silky through the middle w a touch of acid and then some real nice tannins at the end. White pepper.

60% Grenache 33%Mourvèdre 7% Syrah. Aromatics are crazy strong, raspberry notes with a mild herbal note. The palate leans much more savory with some red berry accents. Would assume a Southern Rhone if tasted blind. This producer gets better and better with each vintage. Excellent.
