Maybe it is me, but this was average. Will try again and see if my palate likes this better the second time. Good value for this price point. Has lots of berries, plums, with a fresh sweet ripe tannins, might be a good BBQ wine for this summer.

This was not for my palate, it was medium bodied with medium tannins. The fruit was not forward at all, I was expecting more. Not sure how the 2021 vintage was but I had high hopes. Will try others to see if it just this one bottle or some kind of trend.

This was average at best, medium bodied with medium tannins. The fruit was well balanced for a Rhone. I could taste some wild berries, plums, and some spice. Not my summer wine of 2024, will keep looking however a great price point for BBQ party.
