Community Tasting Note

  April 30, 2014 - WOW! What a pretty bottle of wine. Pop and pour. Singing from the git go. Beautiful translucent garnet color. This wine over delivers by a country mile. It provides immediate gratification but yet sports the structure to continue evolving. This is the 8th bottle from a case and the best to date (sort off regret drinking the others earlier). Not only delicious but affordable. To think I bought this beauty for ~$17 per I could kick myself for only buying one case. The wine has delicious dark fruit, some earthy notes, cassis and plenty of underlying tannin to support further development. Long lingering finish. I would say it is just now entering prime time and will be at peak for at least another three years. This wine personifies why I love Rhone blends and really believe they are the best deal out there on a bang for the buck basis. Double WOW!
