Wine Critic Reviews

Wine Enthusiast (90): 2020 Vintage: This full-bodied blend of 80% Grenache, 15% Syrah and 5% Mourvèdre conveys a captivating note of funky cheese rind that is hunger inducing. Generous on the palate, it has a concentrated core of ripe plums wrapped in fine flint minerality. A great go-to for a cheese-charcuterie night.
