Mid+ ruby red to violet Lifted aromas of lavender cream, pot pourri, black pepper, smoke and plenty of black fruits. A clean entry with that lifted lavender fields in the warm sun and plenty of juicy, soft black raspberry and blueberry. There are stemmy notes from its inclusion alongside a crisp acidity, yet the wine remains silky textured with a creaminess in the mid-palate. No noted wood. This is a classic Rhone-style from California. A persistent finish with chalk dust, fairly compact tannins and succulence. The back palate becomes animated with garrigue, Provencal herbs and cough syrup. Delicious!

Rich blackberry, cracked pepper, earth, violets, beef blood, and a smoky finish. Good balance, with tannins well resolved. Fantastic value at $13 from Garagiste

Dark opaque color. Musty dark fruit and menthol aromas. Dark cherry, prune and berry flavors with clean juicy acidity. Fine tannins on the finish.

Pop and pour. Still showing well with dark, peppery fruit, herbs, and nice medium body. Delicious cocktail wine.

Dark color. Musty dark fruit and menthol aromas. Muted dark berry flavors evolve to some juicy acidity. Minimal finish.
