Red fruits lead the way here, with notes of strawberry, raspberry, and red currant commingling throughout. The Mourvedre pops, with tar notes emerging and lingering on the medium-long finish. Silky mouthfeel. A modern style (15.5%!), yet doesn't feel over the top.

Tangy yet high-toned, with notes of ruby grapefruit, nectarine, sea salt, and gooseberry coalescing throughout. There's a nice roundness here as it warms and lively acidity keeps it moving. Delicious.

This needed some time to open up, eventually showing notes of Gala apple and Mandarin orange, with latent minerality emerging in the background. Nicely integrated oak is here too, and there's just enough acidity to balance its weight. Nicely done, if not a tad simple.
