  1. Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

    Fresh cherries on the nose with light chocolates.

    Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

    Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

    Showing red cherries, red currants, earth, light chocolate notes, tobacco leaf, herbs and spices.

    Nice finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

    This Grenache blend from the great 2022 vintage in Châteauneuf-du-Pape is already drinking very nicely. Rich and fruit forward. Elegant and nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel.

    Good right out of the bottle, and better with airtime.

    Still young and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly, but very approachable now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

    A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with food.

    A blend of 63% Grenache, 13% Mourvedre, 11% Syrah, 7% Counoise, 5% Cinsault and 1% local varieties. Aged in large French oak barrels and concrete vats for 22 months.

    15% alcohol by volume.

    91 points.

    $65.
