January 27, 2022 - Chilled briefly but no time to decant. Structured medium body wine. Raspberry and dark fruits. Great value as a go to buy able wine. Medium tannins and alcohol. Secondary only slightly present.
January 25, 2022 - Dang JPickell nailed the TN, similar impressions and really enjoyed it. Soft and silky texture with balanced fruits and mild pepper spices married up really well with our maple glazed pork chop with hoppin' John and collards. In a great spot for drinking.
January 16, 2022 - Raised entirely in tank. Blend of 50% Syrah, 30% Grenache, and 20% Mourvèdre. The fragrant nose is elegant, mature, and complex with lovely dried dark berry, plum, dried florals, herbs, spices, olive, and mushroom with savoury, meaty, and smoky mineral hints. It's medium-full bodied with flavours of dried dark berry, smoky mineral, purple fruit, and plum in a spicy profile that's supported by juicy, well-balanced acidity. Structured tannins are quite grippy and chalky, while the alcohol is slightly warming, but still balanced. Savoury with smoky minerals linger on the very long, chalky finish.

November 27, 2021 - Bottle 2 of 2. Did not find this experience as "spectacular" as the first. Still a deep, rich Syrah based red, but somehow lacked depth.
February 18, 2021 - Red twizzlers and mocha on the muted nose. Raspberry coulis, sage, cigar box...mild grip, shortish/medium finish. Enjoyable bottle.
January 4, 2021 - Good raspberry fruit and a bit of roasted peach, but the strength is in the structure. Will drink well for at least the next two years.
November 4, 2020 - good. Tasty, fruity. Raspberry fruit.
October 4, 2020 - Still holding up well and not showing signs of fading. Medium body, a bit on the fruity side but without being a fruit bomb. Lovely companion to grilled steak. This was my only bottle, and some of the more critical members' comments sound as though they were describing a completely different wine, so it is possible that there was significant bottle variation in the vintage.
August 21, 2020 - Robe cerise. Sur les épices, framboise et violettes. Décanté 1h30. Le vin est sec et long en bouche. Bon RQP.
August 12, 2020 - Medium body, dark fruit. So-so wine for the price.
