Alternately modern and elegant, but lacking in complexity. PnP, with promising barnyard aromas that simplify on the palate with flavors of raspberry and spice. A touch of heat lingers throughout, and while the satiny mouthfeel impresses, it felt more like an entry-level Gigondas to me.

Compass Wines Rhone Portfolio Tasting (Swift & Sons, Chicago, IL): brief tasting note. not as ripe as some of the others tasted, the wine offered flavors of pomegranate and red raspberry. mouthfeel was leaner and "pretty" (not as extracted/ripe). delicious, and another standout.

Light, fresh, easy drinking, forward, spicy, kirsch and red berry filled wine with a nice pepper driven component in the bright finish.

Alain Junguenet Selections Tasting (Atlanta, GA): Darker color; musky, dark berry, wild, young, some Brett; reminds me of good Vacqueyras.
