This deep ruby wine is a blend of 85% Grenache, 10% Syrah and 5% Mourvèdre. Offering rich aromas and flavors of dark bramble fruits, Provençal herbs, smoke, licorice and loamy earth, it is a medium-to-full-bodied, freshly acidic offering with silky-textured tannins, seamless oak and well-woven alcohol (despite being listed as 15%). Solid on the mid-palate and finishing with impressive length, this hedonistic Châteauneuf makes it hard to put down the glass. Already drinkable, it should continue to provide pleasure throughout the next decade. Drink now-2030.

With a nose that starts with charcoal, smoke, stone, pepper and red fruits. From there, when you move to palate, the wine is medium bodied, round, soft and polished, finishing with ripe, juicy cherries and thyme in the finish. You can drink this young, as well as age it for further development.

Very decent. Fruit forward, fresh just all around good for a fruit forward wine. Can sense some secondary palette elements coming through.
