Honeysuckle and stone fruit nose; rich, but not overdone; pretty. Good.

Beautiful nose. Crisp acidity. Long finish of green berries. Quite nice and crisp. A very good value for $12.
Very strange nose; citrus, lime, and white peach on the palate. Meh.
Faint intensity but pretty nose of pressed flowers. On the palate, cocoa, dark berries; the flavors are rich and dark, but not at all concentrated (watery?).
Nose of apricot, dried flowers. Fairly full bodied and a bit flabby. OK.
From 120ish year old vines. A very "clean" modern style of Mourvedre. Ripe fruit, dusty tannin. Very good.

Perfumed nose of blackberry and sweet spices. Dusty tannin. Short finish that ends a bit bitter.

Very spicy nose of cassis, mulling spices, and baking spices. Medium-minus tannin, and begs for a bit more acid.
Heavy-handed raspberry jam on the nose is matched by the heavy-handed oak on the palate.
Chocolate, red berries, and dill on the nose. Tart berry palate. Medium-minus dusty tannin. Dark berry finish. OK.
Dark berry nose that shows less oak and more acid than the 2014 Ancient Vines. Nice.
Rich plums, medium acidity, cocoa, no tannin to speak of. OK.
