Oct 29th, 2019Has the nose & taste of an N. Rhone wine, but lacking the concentration. A bit thin, but a smashing value.

May 28th, 2019Great N. Rhône value. Fresh, true to type, and most certainly delicious.

Cuilleron is a damn pro. All of his wines are textbook for the varietal and taste about 15% - 20% more expensive than they are. At under $20, this is a great weeknight Syrah.
