Description

Wine Spectator 90

Robust and full of character, with good cut and minerality balancing the red currant and raspberry flavors with hints of savory anise and chalk. Smoked thyme and crushed stone notes sit in the backdrop, with a gentle tug of structure on the well-defined finish. A rosé for food. Grenache, Syrah, Clairette, Mourvèdre, Cinsault and Bourboulenc. Drink now through 2026. 15,000 cases made, 4,000 cases imported.

Wine Enthusiast 90

Ripe and concentrated, this wine showcases the essence of fresh summer fruits such as raspberry and plum encased in rose petal and violets. Structured and fleshy, the palate offers abundant spiced plums, black pepper and stone. Additional cellaring promises further depth and complexity.
