Somewhat divided on the 89/90 point score but rounded up. Simple and delicious, definitely more red pretty Grenache fruit and good acid, with less tannin and complexity than the other CdR's around this price point I have in the rotation. Some black olive, pepper, and a little sweetness. Year-in, year-out, at $18 this is very good.

Smelling really tomato-y and savory. Btu that was just first blanche to it. With some guts. And red fruit on the palate. Not harmonious but just shipped as it were.

Also just a touch reticent on the nose. And wood. So probably just shipped. Palate is more harmonious, well not quite. Again, I think just shipped. Not quite as harmonious with its wood, acidity, and fruit as it has been in the past. Knowing this producer time will bring it down.

A bit sweet, but it worked well with spicy Nepali food. 14.5% ABV.
