Wine Critic Reviews

Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider (94): Crushed rocks, olives and flowers add complexities to the sweet red fruits and spice on the nose and on the medium-bodied palate. The wine offers freshness, earthy, herb-tinted, red berries, plums, black cherry, cocoa and minerality with just a touch of peppery spice that comes in on the endnote. The wine was made from blending 90% Grenache with 10% Syrah. Drink from 2023-2034.

Falstaff (95): Strong ruby colour, purple reflections. Inviting fruity nuances, blueberries, blackberry confit, some rosemary and nougat, fresh orange zest in the background. Deep, substantial, ripe red cherries, supporting tannins, mineral, good freshness. Some honey on the finish, nuances of figs on the back palate.
