Thick but tart blueberry and blackberry fruits dominate the palate with much Stoney minerality and maybe even some graphite. Floral and ripe nose. 15% abv hits hard though the finish itself is not tannic or strong. Enough freshness to move the flavors along. For $16 not bad. Was enjoyed by the family at Xmas eve eve dinner.

Deep purple hue that opens with dried herbs and violet aromas. Raspberry and black cherry complement plum and cassis flavors. Full-bodied density with very nice balance of acidity/fruit while the supple finish lingers with clove and leather.

This wine had 15% alcohol which seemed ridiculous for a French Grenache. Acid balance was a bit off, fruit was tart, needs 3+ years in bottle.

A good wine but a bit too expensive I think. Do not buy again

Opaque purple color, notes of herb on the nose, medium body, good acidity, balanced tannin, some dark fruit on the palate and finish
