January 22, 2024 - Pizza Mundo, and it’s cold, so CPD it is. Very nice, but should have saved half, to let it soften some. Rich, but still tight, has time to go. Very nice. Yum

September 25, 2023 - Nice CDP, garagiste says it’s organic. Still has a way to go. Opened 45 minutes before the pizzas, very good. Yum

September 13, 2023 - Excellent. Drinks well on PnP and though I'd like to give the next bottle some more air, this didn't change too much over an hour. I'd have guessed an even more Grenache-dominant blend vs. the published 65% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 15% Mourvèdre and 5% Cinsault. Sweet kirsch Grenache fruit and some spice, a touch warming but with no alcohol heat, some plum and dark fruits coming in. Not the most complex wine, but very well made and in balance.
Solid QPR sub-$30 USD. -

March 17, 2023 - Medium garnet color with minimal rim clearing
Medium plus aromas of ripe and dried cherry with dried herbs/ potpourri and white peeper
Medium plus bodied with palate of red and black fruit with dried herbs and garrique
Medium plus tannins and medium plus acidity with medium plus alcohol as well
Moderate length led by fruit and tannins
Nice wine but a little one dimensional and lacking in complexity to warrant a higher score
