  Raspberry and cherry fruit with rose petal and licorice on a rich, yet lively frame. Drinking well now.

  Pop and pour for this wine. Beautiful dark purple color for this wine. Delicious bouquet and palate of black cherry, currants and licorice. Fruit explodes from the glass in this wonderfully balanced Rhone blend. Would love to have more of this wine but alas this is my last bottle of this beauty. Bravo Audelssa!!!!

  Still good. Broad and complex with a decent amount of tannin to keep this going a bit longer...

  Back to form again with smoky black cherry/raspberry, herbs, smoke and licorice. Firm tannins provide the requisite structure to make this a candidate for midterm aging.

  This is a great example of new world and old world intersecting and producing a wonderful wine. It's got the GSM notes, but is not too fruity-jammy like some of the Australian wines, that make you feel like you're eating a jar of preserves, this wine has a bit of that rhone-style feeling, but also well balanced fruit. All in all, a very nice wine and well made. If you like Rhone wines but don't insist on tasting the earth and rocks in your mouth, just want good acidity, structure and solid but not too much fruit, try this wine!! A refreshing change from their straight up Cab, which is not my fave.
