Penultimate bottle from a 6 pack, last had a bottle 4. mos ago. Delicious, paired with grilled cheeseburgers, roasted cauliflower and potatoes. Pretty, red Grenache fruit. Notes of black pepper and lifted by mint. Very pretty bottle tonite.

4th bottle from a 6 pack, last had one of these about 6 mos ago. Enjoyed with grilled burgers and some family games. This wine is very tasty, showing off some pepper, briary red and black fruits, with a bit of burnt ember flavors. There is a wet rocky soil note that belies the briary fruit. The tannins are getting more fine-grained with time, and this wine should drink nicely for a few more years.

Pop and pour, followed half a bottle over 2 hours. I didn't get the watery aspect that I noted a year ago, just a fairly straightforward Rhone that might make you think of CDP if you try hard enough, but clearly not what you wish for from that region. For the $23 price paid, no complaints whatsoever. If I was paying much more for them, why not just get the regular bottling that's only a bit more expensive.

3rd of 6 bottles, enjoyed with grilled burgers and 'dogs at the beach. Blue and red fruits, a bit of black pepper and spice, with some refreshing palate tension from gritty tannins and good acids. drink through 2025 or so.
