  Costco purchase. Medium red color. On nose, garrigue, sweet cherry, fig and raspberry. Palate similar. full body, medium acidity, medium tannins (good structure overall). 92-93 range.
  
  Would buy again. [Edit - fell apart after 48 hours in cellar (under vacu-vin) so I would consume in the next 5 years which is consistent with the CT drinking window].

  Medium dark red color. Dark cherry and spicy bouquet. Smooth mature, spice flavor. Totally ready. Good concentration with mild bitterness in the finish. Good length.
  A blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah. Some vines date back to 1919. Decanted for an hour before serving.
