  This label has become a Thanksgiving favorite at our dinner table. Decanted and enjoyed from magnum. Nothing spectacular here, but ALWAYS solid and immensely enjoyable. This particular bottle showed some structure, which I hadn’t noticed in previous vintages. Always lots of red and black fruits and balance. Regardless, this will appeal to a wide cross section of wine drinkers from the uninitiated to the more knowledgeable vinophiles. Drink or hold through 2032+.

  Light/bright red. Fleshy in the mouth with medium red fruit. Good acidity and a smooth long finish. Might continue to develop, but drinking well now...

  Not my favorite vintage for this wine. Seems a little heavy/clunky, but maybe just needs more time to unwind? 15.0% abv (at least).

  Bit of a bruiser at this point. Complex, but maybe the alcohol stands out a little too much. Think it will age well though.

  Floral and spicy, with freshness and garrigue to accompany all the ripe, sweet cherries from start to finish, the wine is forward, spicy and lush, with a lifted juicy red berry finish. The wine was made from blending 65% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 15% Mourvedre and 5% Cinsault. Give it a few years in the cellar as there is potential for aging here.
