65% Mourvedre, remaining split between Syrah and Grenache (mostly). Biodynamic. Putting Cairanne on the map.
Silky with great weight; warm stone doorstep on the nose; brilliant fine-grained fruit and a little roasted meat. Black currant, touch of blackberry, etc. Exceptional wine and not bad pricing...worth every penny of the $30 shelf price.

Dark-colored Rhone blend. Made from 60% Mourvedre and equal parts Syrah and Grenache and aged in demi-muids. Aromas of black and blue fruits, lavender and violet. Flavors of blue and black fruits, violet, pepper and smoked meat. Pronounced tannins, but well balanced with a silky texture. Very nice.
