Another lovely bottle. Full of dark, savage fruit, with pepper and tar notes. A wine that begs for meat, with the tannins quite noticeable, yet ameliorates with air. A bit more stuffing on the mid-palate would really make this sing. Good value wine.

This shows lots of Mouvedre character; blackberries, licorice, pepper and tar. Ample sturcture almost begs for some decanting or cellaring. Quite a big shouldered, meaty wine and nice value to boot.

Dark berrys, bitter herbs, and animal hide, with sweet plum emerging at the end to redeem this wild, rustic Southern Rhone.

Deep wine, with load of black fruits, tar and violets. Quite structured, with fine grained tannins that beg for decanting or cellar time. Good concentration, fine length. Wish I had the patience to age this. Nice value at $14.

I liked this better than I did 7 months ago. The bitterness I found last time is much reduced, and overall the taste is more harmonious, particularly on day 2.

Fairly ambitious wine for the price. Lots of dark fruits, like blackberry and plumbs. A bit of game and licorice as well, with some hefty tannins. This was much better on day two, when the tannins were softer. This seems like it could be a medium term ager.

- Garnet color and aromas of blackberry. It's balanced and has flavours of blackberry, hazelnut and dusty with a medium/full body. Polished texture with a medium finish.

Fruit forward berry-flavored wine with wild herbs and fur; spicy rustic coffee finish. Pleasant untamed quality; a nice change from more Grenache-dominated Southern Rhones.

The wine has a very deep purple color and an instant bouquet of dark cerries and fruits. It is very fruit forward , and medium to full bodied with a realtively long fruit driven finish. The wine is young and will balance out over the next year if you can wait to consume it. Great by itself and with food. The wine is a crowd pleaser now that will gain complexity.

This was a decent bottle of wine but lacked some maturity. The flavors have not fully mellowed so it was not as smooth as I prefer. I have another bottle in the cellar that will probably age another 2 years before I consume it.

Interesting funky mouvedre blend, a decent buy at $25

Dark purple-red; wine coats the glass after a swirl and a sip. The taste, which I didn't particularly care for, had both a sweetness and a bitterness--kind of a plum-raisin laced with a dash of Suze liqueur and a hint of almost syrupy sugar. The wine is 90% mourvèdre, which probably means that I don't like a wine composed of so much mourvèdre. I'm going to wait a year on the next bottle and see what happens.
