brief tasting note. nose is very fresh, a veritable meadow with lots of floral elements. lighter in body and flavor for a CdP, it offers flavors of black pepper and some herbal qualities. very nice, this cuvee made from 45% grenache/45% syrah and 10% mourvedre.

brief tasting note. flavors of black raspberry, some candied fruit, and a great stony minerality are evident here. great soft mouthfeel here, and the finish was exceptionally long. one of the standouts.

brief tasting note. not as ripe as some of the others tasted, the wine offered flavors of pomegranate and red raspberry. mouthfeel was leaner and "pretty" (not as extracted/ripe). delicious, and another standout.

brief tasting note. very extracted and candied. quite tannic at this time, more difficult to assess in a brief tasting, this will likely take some time to unwind.
