(13.5%) Big, lush, juicy fruit (cherry first and foremost) backed by a nice spice and smooth acidity (showing a touch of iron) leading to a lasting, savory finish. A nice example of how a wine can be both fruit forward but food friendly at the same time. I tried this Grenache based blend (can’t find exact percentage) and bought a bottle after a tasting room visit in downtown Jacksonville, Oregon. If I remember right Herb told me most of this (retails at $20) was shipped over to Belgium which is a shame because if I could find it on the shelf here I’d happily grab another bottle…

What a fruit bomb from this family winery with a microscopic production. Pure cherry fruit and quite good mouth grip. Funny little wine for that special occasion, where you fancy a slightly chilled glas of red fruit juice! This would normally be during summer, but I just had that urge the other day.

Very light and fruity at 13.5% alc/vol for this Syrah/Grenache blend.

Very fruity - but not annoyingly so. Smooth and powerful. Really liked this and will buy again.

Herlig kraftig Rhone-blanding som var alle DKK110 værd. Ikke så frugtig som jeg havde frygtet efter at have læst de andre anlemdelser.
