91 Points
Monday, July 29, 2019 - Gorgeous wine. Round, elegant yet hearty. 65% Grenache, 25% Syrah, 5% Mourvedre and 5% Grenache Blanc. Steel tanks and large oak foudre resulting in a fresh, but smooth flavor. $20 K&L. I just ordered more. Lovely wine. Decanter rated this 94 points.

[In one review they indicated it needs cellaring into '22, but in another that it was quite approachable even in '19!] (FYI, *should* you be interested, I just uploaded specific info for this vintage, including acclaim, which can be accessed via the CellarTracker Article link [lower lft]).
