Another wine where the price leads consumers to downgrade its rating, and shrink their appreciation for its quality. This is a $13 bottle of wine that outperforms many wines at 3x its price. Rich, blackberry liqueur and pastille aromas rise from the glass. This is sappy, with fresh baked pie fruits (no aggressive spice). The structural profile is dense as this Cote Du Rhone is made from 100% syrah; but it still has the impression of Southern Rhone heat. Balanced, with soft tannins and fresh acidity. Buy a case of every new vintage (we're talking $150 here) and thank me later. Decant for 45 min on opening.
