Very enjoyable, a lot more fruit upfront fruit then I expected from France. Not a bad thing. Bright, cherry, good acid.

Haven’t had this in a few years and forgot how good it is. Earthy aromas of rich soil, barnyard and wild brambly red and black fruit. Medium bodied with m+ acid and easy tannins. The small amounts of Cinsault and Carignan shine through giving this an added layer of complexity. Lots of character for the price, and very easy to enjoy.

Black fruit, reglisse(licorice), and garrigue herbs(lavender, sage, rosemary, thyme)
Lip smacking acidity and a tad of chalky minerality.

This review is for the white blend. Love it! Medium body, kinda rich and mineral. Long finish. Great acidity but very balanced.

Of course! Pours a clear, slightly hazy purplish-ruby in the glass, with medium viscosity and pale concentration, moving to a silvery rim. Light extraction, light viscosity, no evidence of gas or sediment. This wine is clean, with a delicate nose of gardenias, wet stone, wild herbs, and barnyard. There's an unripe cherry characteristic with a hint of plum peel, abundant herbal notes and just the right amount of gaminess on the nose. A little bit of old French oak from Foudres. Off dry on the palate with medium tannins and medium acidity, light to medium body with medium alcohol. Dried strawberry and spicy cherry on the palate, tons of wild, garlicky herbs, white pepper, perfume, and a long mushroomy, earthy finish. Hints of chalky limestone and old oak as the finish tails off. Moderate complexity, good for the price range. Opens up nicely in the glass, with fruit growing more abundant and the nose growing more herbal with time.

All things spice and nice. A little perfumey, red fruit, and floral. This is a fresh and fun Grenache blend. Syrah, Cinsault, and Carignan round out the line up.
