Some TCA at first but by the second glass it was gone. This is quite nice, linear southern grenache with cool red fruit and strong mineral undertones. Perhaps missing a bit of freshness at this point. Would re-buy in an updated vintage. Super high quality for the tariff ($16+).

100 percent grenache. this is very cleanly made and remarkably well balanced. doesn't try to do too much. just solid red and black fruits, underbrush, and some floral notes. perfect with chicken on the grill with middle eastern spices.

Another very fine effort. This wine is very inviting. Open, bright, and floral on the nose. Palate: Sweet red berries, a bit of spice and pink peppercorn, and nice minerality. This wine has great character and tastes true to the varietal and region...Simply delicious. Brigitte Chevalier is a fine winemaker. I love her subtle touch with her entire line of wines.

Nice blackberry/boysenberry / violets jaminess on the first contact with la bouche. Belle longueur de goût aussi.

The body was nice--not too heavy. There was a striking boysenberry note on the palate.
