Community Tasting Note

Martin Redmond Likes this wine:

Thursday, June 2, 2022 - Translucent garnet color with very aromatic, dark fruit, bramble, leather, iron, eucalyptus, dried herb and, a hint of smoked meat aromas. On the palate, it's between light and medium-bodied, and very harmonious with velvety tannins and mouth-watering acidity. It shows black cherry, ripe black raspberry, dried herb and spice flavors that offer a very appealing savory character. Long earthy finish. At 13 y.o. still quite youthful and fresh!

It's a barrel select blend of 65% Mourvedre, 26% Grenache, and 9% Syrah modeled after Château de Beaucastel’s Hommage á Jacques Perrin. All organic estate fruit, fermented on native yeast in either upright oak casks or stainless steel fermenters. After pressing, the wines were moved into barrel, blended, and aged in one 1200-gallon French oak foudre before being bottled in July 2011. 14.5% abv|SRP - $130|530 cases produced
