The syrah really shows in this. Pepper, smoked meat, and dark berries. Excellent time to drink now!

a 50/50 blend of grenache and syrah, still kind of young, quite intense on fruit notes and freshness, velvety tannins, and spicy notes - a very nice wine made again with no oak, and vineyards biodynamic driven - enjoyed to open up in a carafe

Big juicy southern Rhone with chalky tannins on the finish and licorice on the nose.
