This is tremendous. Sitting in the cellar for a few years has really brought out depth, balance, and complexity in this bottle. Drying tannins, deep dark fruit, lively acid, notes of smoke, sage, and cocoa. No way I would guess that this is a $17 bottle of wine! Just great.

This one had some cork seepage which puts Grenache at a bit of a risk; there was some oxidation there taking this one down a notch and showing that this one should be drunk in the next year. Still a really really tasty and interesting if rustic wine.

Good peppery blend with the Syrah adding fruit and some depth. Would re-buy.

Perfect example of what Grenache can do. I could drink an ocean of this mix of berries with pepper and earth.

Silky smooth for a southern rhone with dark fruits and some earth and pepper. Medium weight. Balancing acidity. Medium/long finish. This is excellent!
