Tim and Bonnie Likes this wine: 90 points
July 16, 2017 - The bouquet, upon first opening, is one my favorite scents, full of fruit, herbs and earth. Very lovely.
Bonnie and I are drinking this well before it's prime, the tannins attack, retreat, attack again, pull back, rush forward, surprised by the presence of so much oxygen all at once. In a few years, 5 maybe, it will be thoroughly under control and ready to present.
Bonnie's less impressed than me and went 88-89 on this wine. That's fully accurate for where it is, but I'm rating on the potential which is 90+. -

September 7, 2015 - Concentrated for the vintage, there is a wealth of silky, dark red fruits paired with supple textures and a vibrant, richness to the finish making this one of the top wines of the vintage. Produced from a blend of 90% Grenache with an even split of Syrah and Mourvedre.
