Every year, this wine dependably displays a terroir-soaked, old school character that I love. Nose has dark cherry, tons of crushed rocks, with spices borne on little wings of acidity ticking the nostrils. Nostrils. What a weird name. Minerally, brambly, and darkly savory in the mouth. This estate is to Grenache what Saint Joseph is to Syrah. Great value to boot.

Dark Ruby with sweet dark fruit aromas and herb spice, a blend of 80% Grenache, 15% Syrah and 5% Mourvèdre. On the palate dark berry fruits with coffee & cacao on a dusty tannin structure. Lingering finish ending with herb notes.

Earthy, dark yummy fruit. Medium-length finish. Excellent with pizza carried out from stonehorse. Drank after moving all dads wine into new house.
