July 18, 2008 - I'm really loving this wine right now, see previous tasting notes. This time I got beautiful cherry/fruit. It was very well balanced for my taste. It doesn't need a ton of decanting (less than an hour), I doubt it will hold up for a few days open like many wines. I have no reservations drinking this up right now.

May 3, 2008 - See previous notes, noticed a bit more acidity than previous tastings. Could have been the food we paired it with (pizza).

April 1, 2008 - Solid bottle of wine. Nice sweet fruit, strawberries on the palate. Got this for $15 and at that price a great value for an introduction (albeit relatively low-quality) into Chateauneuf-du-Pape, from what I've heard. We'll buy more of this and drink it in place of lower quality cote-du-rhone.

February 23, 2008 - I anticipated to experience the absolute thinnest most inspid wine, but I was oh so wrong. Unbelievable that in such a poor vintage, this producer put out something drinkable, let alone enjoyable. Mourvedre dominates on the nose with a meatiness and slight game, touch of herbs. The palate has a medium body and surprisingly nice texture. Semi-lush fruit, red cherry liqueur, dusty tannins, and roasted meats. As it opens, everything softens and the Grenache really shows. Some peppery spice, brighter berry fruits with nicer acidity, and those initial tannins shed. Solid 87 and an A++ for effort.
