  This is a tasty and easy drinking red blend from Southern Rhone.
  
  Showing red and black fruits with earth, spices, light vegetables, herbs, peppercorn, dark chocolates and tobacco.
  
  Dry on the palate with medium acidity.
  
  Medium plus in body and fruit forward. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel.
  
  Nice finish with fine grained tannins, spices and raspberries.
  
  A good quality wine, and good by itself or with food.
  
  Good right out of the bottle and better after an hour of airtime.
  
  I had it before, and this time I gave it a light chill and paired it with beef sirloin steak.
  
  A blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah. Unfiltered and fined.
  
  14.5% alcohol by volume.
  
  90 points.
  
  $22.

  A pretty color of ruby with a wide red rim.
  
  On the nose cherries, blueberries, violets, spices, river rocks, earth, concrete, light vegetables and black pepper.
  
  Medium bodied and airy, with medium acidity and long legs.
  
  Dry on the palate with cherries, sweet raspberries, tobacco, spices, coffee, earth, vegetables, light alcohol and peppercorn.
  
  Medium finish with fine grained tannins and red chili powder.
  
  This is a young red blend from Southern Rhone. Showing fresh fruits with earth notes. Nice and interesting.
  
  Needs an hour to open up and remove some of the acidity. Tannins show up after 60 minutes.
  
  Already drinking nicely, but needs a few years to calm down. Would be nice to revisit it in 3 years.
  
  Showing mild complexity, and a little hot at the back of the throat right now. Gentle and elegant. Spicy and tangy.
  
  Good by itself and better with food. Paired nicely with Camembert and crackers.
  
  A blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah. Unfiltered and fined.
