  Excellent bottle, better the second night (gassed). Dark berry and floral on the nose and palate. Dark bottom predominates on the first night; the second the juice and the acidity were better integrated. All suggesting that this has another 5 years of life.

  Fantastic value. We love the dry crush fruit on the attack leading peppery spices and earth notes and a dry medium tannic finish. Went perfectly with our smoked brisket and BBQ sauce.

  This wine is the antithesis of a Pinot Noir. The granache and mourvedre grapes are really strutting their stuff here as this wine is a more woodsy style southern Rhone with a dry cranberry fruit, black pepper and a dry tannic finish that the tart brambly fruit and pepper spices linger on. This wine was great with our lollipop lamb chops.
