Nice to be able to get a northern rhone type of taste for this money. Dark fruit and lots of herbs and spices - I picked up a sage note that I liked a lot, but the overall complexion was more green (not a bad green, but green). Seems to want to be drunk young, but I would like a little more development - like if that herbal component developed some tapanade - otherwise, I would be inclined to spend the extra five dollars and drink a Crozes or even a St. Joseph.
