An homage to the grape diversity of France’s southern Rhône Valley. 65% grenache, 18% syrah, 15% cinsault, 2% petite sirah (durif). The light translucent garnet wine expresses strawberry and cranberry fruit in the nose with essences of spicy white pepper aromas. Soft tannins, virtually no oak impact, and medium-bodied in the mouth. Flavors more complex than I first detected. Roll this wine around the tongue to appreciate the forest floor herbaceousness underpinning the fruit.

This classic, pioneering Rhône red continues inspiring the masses. The blend of 65% Grenache, 18% Syrah, 15% Cinsaut and 2% Petite Sirah starts with crisp red currant, crumple flower and cracked white pepper aromas. The palate is young, fresh and tense, offering raspberry jam dusted in lavender and delicate baking spices.
