December 17, 2023 - GSM (50/30/20). Medium dark. Softens nicely with a little breathing time. Small hints of fruit and flint.

February 25, 2021 - Traditional Rhone SMG; probably needs a bit more time for the Shiraz to shine through. A bit trapped and jammy
Nov Tasting:
Same overall score. Wine has evened out a bit. Smooth entry with nicely balanced red + black fruit and pepper. Hint of pepper. Firm tannins with a long finish. -

December 16, 2020 - Nice balance of fruit, acid, and tannin. Delicious---wakes up the mouth. Smells like fruit and leather(??) on granite. Full-bodied and flavorful, though not massively complex. A great bargain for an oomphy wine.

July 16, 2019 - Blend of 50% Syrah, 30% Grenache, and 20% Mourvèdre. The Grenache was aged in tank, while the other varietals were aged in barrel. Generous aromas offer spicy red and blackberry fruit with hints of pepper and smoky-flinty minerality. It is medium-full bodied with nicely balanced and spicy aroma replays that are supported by vibrant acidity. More minerally on the mid-palate plus touches of purple fruit. Tannins are soft, supple, and finely textured. Dark berry and mineral notes linger on the long finish. I really like the mineral aspect of this Ventoux red wine.
