With a slight hint of manure and compost initially this wine is not for those seeking a fruit flushed wine...it does blow off and offer a nice potpori of blueberry, herbs, and blackberry on the nose. In the mouth this wine is medium to full bodied, lush, and silky with largely blue & black fruit leading the flavor profile into a medium length finsih. While this is a very good wine it is not going to stop you in your tracks, or cause you to ponder the cosmos...however, it is still great for the $12 price tag.

classic rhone aromas and flavours without the funk. some floral scents. approachable, enjoyable, fruity, long finish. should appeal to most people. needs a year or two in the cellar. a very good red table wine in an outstanding vintage.

Good rip, medium body, slightly funky, decent for the price.
