Classic Rhône Garrigue nose with a somewhat jammy palate. Good value.

Nice, fruity Rhone blend, but the finish is off.

Delicious! Slight tannin and strawberry flavour in a light-medium offering.

$11.69 at Total Wine (2012). Allyson likes it, Paul really likes it. Bit dry, lots of fruity notes and very smooth.

Wonderful. Agree with the comments here. Day 2 was fabulous. Decant.

Reminds me a bit more of a California Syrah (or even Zinfandel) than a Rhone blend. Not bad but too one sided in the fruit department, lacks proper balance. 2011 vintage.

Edit: better on day 2. A bit more complexity followed by a nice, oaky finish.
