Rich dark color. In nose and taste, excellent interplay between vanilla from oak and Grenache Mediterranean orange plus salt. Good acidity and enough tannins (but not overwhelming) to push this wine for another decade, perhaps more. Great balance. Still young, of course. 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre.

Day 1: This is a great value for under $30.00 from WTSO. White pepper, raspberries, floral, cherry blossoms and earth. Very approachable young. 92 points Day 2: A little better with Garrigue, raspberries, dried cherry, white pepper, minerals, earth and mild spices. This is super drinkable young and what a wonderful value. 93 points Day 3: Holding form. For a young wine this is just delicious. Recommendation: Buy it for under $30.00 at WTSO.
