  Continued to outperform expectations. Tannins resolved but plenty of fruit and body remain. Some more depth of flavor leaning heavily toward black olive. Light enough to enjoy with Herbs de Provence spiced roast chicken but substantive enough that it could have been lamb. Most enjoyable.

  Well, this exceeded my expectations. Light-bodied for the appellation, for sure. Also, not terribly complex. But it is nicely balanced and the dominant olive flavor, framed by garrigue was delicious with rosemary, garlic lamb chops.

  Fun and fresh wine, pairs great on a number of red-meat main courses. On the light end of medium bodied, fruit forward and white pepper backed. Simple but nice finish. Expect cherry and a hint of raspberry out of the gate, characteristic French minerality quick to follow. Easy to enjoy, so go enjoy it.
