Solid southern Rhône blend. Red to blue berry fruit, light spice and earth, pretty typical blend. Has the warmth and approachability of the vintage without much alcoholic heat or overextraction. M to M+ body, M- tannin and acid. Compared to big concentrated Rhône wines this is maybe lighter in style. Not terribly complex or distinctive just solid. Drink soon. Average qpr. 5.5-6/10

A pitch-perfect, good vintage, cotes du Rhône villages. A dead ringer for a great Gigondas, which is not surprising since this winery sits a stones-throw from the Gigondas boundary, high up in the Dentelles hills. I had thought this winery made only great sweet white wine, but I was wrong. Rich, spicy, and satisfying.
