(372 views) | | | Tasted by kcnikunj on 12/30/2020 & rated 90 points: Decanted, but could have used a like more time to open up. Floral bouquet, medium tannins and easy finish. Very drinkable, some complexity in the body. Drank the last one, may do well for a few more years. (613 views) | | | Tasted by no leashes on 5/19/2020: Black fruit and pepper, rich without being cloying, nice finish. Really good! Paired with grilled pork chop, great pairing.

(980 views) | | | Tasted by Fat cat on 2/10/2019 & rated 90 points: Very enjoyable wine from a good producer in an unknown area. It is drinking well already but will easily go another 3-5 years. (1050 views) | | | Tasted by danckie on 12/22/2018 & rated 90 points: No official TN. Still quite young but balanced and already very enjoyable. Room for improvement with time. (1040 views) | | | Tasted by henrygjeffreys on 3/8/2018: fresh dark fruit on the nose
Lovely tannin some grip but so ripe, superb mouthfeel/ texture
Dark fruit in perfect condition, fresh and full, then meaty and long
This is absolutely pristine

On CellarTracker, Red Rhone Blend is the term for a wine consisting of two or more of the traditional 13 Southern Rhone grape varieties. Typically it's the Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre or Cinsault grapes, but can also contain the Muscardin, Counoise, Clairette, Bourboulenc, Picpoul, Roussanne, Terret Noir, Picardan or Vaccarese grapes.
A 'food' wine. Lacking pretension and intended for local consumption with local cuisine. Lacks the 'high' notes on a Bordeaux, more earthy and sharper so often a better partner to meat dishes with a sauce.
