Found this locally for $19....91% Mouvedre, 9% Syrah....med bodied, not too sweet, yet perfectly ripe fruit...pretty easy drinking, soft tannin yet structure. The best part...killer Mouvedre flavor! Brambly rustic wild berry fruit, smoked stems, pine straw, cigar tobacco, cedar spice. Nice earth and menthol to go with that classic pine cone camp fire that I get with Mouved. Really bright fruit skin acidity and crunchy minerality....this is a keeper!

Red fruit nose of dried raspberries and light cola; the red fruit continues with strawberries in the mouth; finishes with solid tanins and a dry toast. Is good now but will drink easily for another couple of years.

Intense dark stewed fruits and a long finish. I like bold wines, and this does not disappoint...tarry leather flavors might not appeal to everyone!

Delicious bottle. Well balanced, extremely drinkable Rhone. Great price point too.
