  well balanced with strong raspberry fruit and decent structure and acidity. Excellent QPR and a good example of village wine

  30m air for this blend of 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 20% Carignan. Aged for 16 months in concrete tanks. Medium purple color. Offers earthy aromas of leather, soy sauce and blackberry. Stewed blackberry and red fruit, on the palate. It has some earthy qualities, but overall the wine is a bit soft for my taste, lacking both acidity and/or tannin to add backbone

  Delicious blend of stewed strawberries, lavender, and game. Easy drinking — not much structure — but enough aromatic complexity to satisfy me.

  I haven’t been wowed by this level of quality in an $11.99 bottle of wine — correction, $20 or under — in a very, very long time. Fresh ground pepper, blackberry, and cherry cola notes on the nose, followed by a supple, juicy mouthful of dark fruit, more pepper. Excellent, fresh, lingering finish! Not amazingly complex, sure, but really vivid and well knit. How’d they do it? More magic tricks like this, Thunevin-Calvert, si vous plait!!

  Purely delicious with fruit and acidity in balance. Drinks like a $20 southern Rhone. Best wine we had in Provence in 2018.
