Tasted March 11, 2006 by itself at a retail wine tasting. Opened and served immediately in a Riedel “restaurant series” Syrah glass. Dusty rose color in the glass, slightly dusty hue. Nose of kirsh, leather, cherry and tobacco. Flavors of cherry and strawberry. Good QPR but didn’t impress me enough to buy. Drink now.

Deep ruby. Tasty fruit in nose. Aromas of raspberry, and plum, with hints of pepper, and oaky vanilla. In the mouth it is very velvety. The fruit flavors - raspberry and plum - blend nicely with the spicy pepper. The tannins are solid and the finish is long. A good chose for an everyday Rhone.

This is a spicy, earthy wine with subtle fruit and lots of pepper.
