Samorëns: Juicy black cherry colored. Peppery and earthy on the nose with some incense sticks and smoke to accent the red and black cherry fruit. Medium-bodied with mild tannins and medium acidity. A chewy but smooth texture lays out for the black cherry and strawberry jam flavors. Notes of incense smoke and grilled herbs add a bit of spice. A blend of 85% Grenache with some Syrah and Cinsault.

This 2014 red Rhone shows some immediate, ripe grapes, well made youthful exuberance on the nose. Nice heft and weight on the palate. Red but not very opaque color. Some flinty, metal flavors with the big cherry and dark fruit on the palate. A slight leave of red licorice on the roof of the mouth. Nice acid structure and some grainy, youngish tannins with the red fruit on the finish.
