  Very fruit forward, like red fruit juicy. Really enjoyed this as a weeknight wine.

  A true joy to drink, this bests many CdP's we have enjoyed over the last few years. Pure fruit without defect rolled across our tongues in a giddy way, leaving us to marvel at how 'village' wines can please us so. This did not need food, although it did not pause from providing us pleasure as we moved from aperitif to dinner.

  This was a hedonistic delight. Amazing fruit and also balanced. Not delicate or subtle. Definitely drink as much of this as you can right now, even if you have to do it in one night. In my experience with Rhones, they only have a short window where, if they get like this bottle is now, they stay this way, so it may be in a short-lived sweet spot. Caveat: I'm a big fan of Rasteau, so take my review with a grain of Rasteau.

  Pleasant Grenache 70% Syrah 30% blend that was just beginning to mature with plenty of life ahead of it. The Grenache is noticably more forward and fruity that I would have expected at this point and the Syrah is there but doing a good job hiding itself. I got the blueberries other reviewers spoke of but none of the garrigue or other secondary flavors I hope will come with further aging.

  I had this when we returned from a day of exploring downtown Seattle on 4/5/18. It had a focused, expressive bouquet of black cherry, raspberry, plum, cola, herb, anise and spice aromas. The palate was rich and dry with flavors of black cherry, raspberry, plum, cola and spice.
