Ruby in color with a wide reddish/ brick rim.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with blueberries, sweet cherries, currants, oak, light vegetables, spices, tobacco leaf, chocolates, coffee, peppercorn, earth, black tea and wet leaves.
This is a tasty Grenache blend from Southern Rhone. Well balanced with nice complexity and mouthfeel.
This 5 year old, from one of the better vintages in the last 20 years, is still young and would be better in 5 years, but already drinking very nicely.
Wine Enthusiasts 91 points.
Showing a pretty nose of wild flowers with earth notes. Fruityer on the palate and very juicy.
A blend of 65% Grenache, 20% Mourvèdre and 15% Syrah.
15% alcohol by volume.

Probably still in a younger phase. Has a nice nut roll component at the end.

Improved from 7 months ago! Raspberries, strawberries, a hint of spices due to Syrah. Still would better in a year from now!

Well, good not great. I am a huge Chateauneuf-du-Pape fan, but this one did not do it for me. Yeah good flavor and body, but not what I expect with this region.
