This is my kind of wine - bright, fresh, elegant. Nose of herb tinged berries and cherries, with a little more serious animal in the mix. Really quite a mix of southern and northern Rhone - which, considering the location is what one would expect. The palate is vibrant, fresh raspberry, cherry, a touch of apricot. Medium finish with noticeable, but fine and non intrusive tannins. Unashamedly easy drinking, to be enjoyed young (seems balanced enough to keep, but I simply don't see the point). And, to top it off, an astounding bargain. I need more wines like this for the summer.

Very rich fruit, but restraint on the oak means this has a great balance - plums and blackberries on the fruit, sweet spice, and a bit of pepper on the finish. Good.

Fairly simple, but plenty of forward fruit, and nicely balanced. A great party / weekday wine.
