I've posted about this wine before but the '14 is so good and punches WAY above its sub $40 price point. This predominantly Grenache blend with some Mourvèdre, Syrah and a dash of PV is delicious. Blackberry dominates to me with peppery secondary notes coming into play. This is medium to full bodied and slightly dense. Pop and pour - this and Clio are becoming my go to everyday house reds. High caliber, super reasonable for what you get. @TheSkip - this is one for you to try if you haven't.
