We drank this after a bottle of Oregon Pinot Noir, and in comparison it was a bit sweeter and fruitier than we are used to. Definately a dominance of strawberry flavors, but also a predominance of oak that we are not accustomed to. Probably much better paired with food.

Sampled at Vinotecca. The nose is reminiscent of a Rhone red. The flavour is big & fruity. Delish. The best of a flight of 3. High very good to excellent (87.5).

Very nice Rhone. Soft easy to drink great minerality (river rock ?), spice, lavender, soft tannins. I don't think this is something to sit on for a long time, but, a great everyday drinker. Also, nice to try something a little different from time to time, this isn't a varietal you find everywhere. Fun/Interesting place to visit too.

Bold nose of cherries and strawberries. Medium tannins with smoky flavors of cherry, plum, and leather. Very nice!

Consistent with my previous notes. Nice soft Rhone, light berries and nice mouth feel. Medium finish. Good QPR, fun winery visit.
