Wonderfully intense Grenache - lovely strawberry, black pepper, black cherry and a hint of baking spice. Medium body, good acid balance with the soft tannins. Delicious.

Bright. Kirsch and strawberry compote, balanced well by a savory, salvia-like quality. Hint of castor bean. Like all Xavier ‘15s, it juggles tannin, low pH, big ripeness. Superb. #xavier #rasteau #grenache #rhone

Not flavorful enough for us. Doesn’t have specific fruit flavors, oak flavor. Probably would not buy again.
