Similar soils to Chateauneaf with a much better price point! Earthy undertones, persistent minerality, great dark fruit.

Not fruity; not savory; not spicy. No discernible faults. Simply lacking character. Perhaps it's simply past its prime.

Touch fruiter than a typical Rhone. But still pleasant and drinkable. Entry level northern Rhone wine

Last of 6 purchased, I think...my cellar's a mess so maybe I tucked another away.

Solid performer and consistent throughout. Very nice weight, w/o the alcohol being obnoxious. Exotic enough on the palate so as to not be reminiscent of standard varietals or similar blends. I should think a Semillion lover will find attraction here.
