Very nice, balanced flavors. Well executed Rhone-style with sufficient acidity to keep the flavors distinct. Medium to light body but a nice medium legth finish with fruit flovor carry throughout. Sorry this is my last one.

At first, loads of dark fruit and well-integrated oak spice. Drinkable right off the bat, but got better with 70-80 mins of air. Though this is unmistakably a new world wine, after it opened there was some nice meaty notes on the nose, plus a hint of herbs. Nice acidity too. Some tannins but mellow. Generally balanced, tasty and versatile with food. 88-91pts.

Very nice Rhone blend. Very Rhone as in very French. I would highly recommend this wine at this price point. This one is not over the top, extremely balanced with well integrated tannins, dark fruit, some plum, just a well made nice wine. Forgot to mention this paired exceptionally well with everyone's meals which include softshell crab, duck confit, ariabiatta pasta and slow roasted pork tenderloin. Seems to be a very versatile wine.

1 he decant. Great nose of fresh black and blue fruits, baking spices, and a hint of oak vanillin. Medium plus palate of blackberry, dark cherry , olives, and vanilla. Really nice balance and long finish.

Similar to other tasting notes but thought it fell a little flat on the finish.
