  Fantastic Columbia Valley rendering of a classic Châteauneuf-du-Pape blend: 54% grenache, 22% syrah, 15% mourvèdre, 6% counoise, 3% cinsault. Fruit forward and round. Probably at its peak now but will hold for a while. Yummy!

  Used to braise some baby back ribs for tomorrow's ragu and drank the rest! Juicy and mouth-filling.

  Well balanced, bright fruit followed by a touch of spice. Ready to drink!
