Expert Reviews · Vintage 2024
James Suckling, 91 Points | Juicy, balanced and subtle, showcasing aromas of dark cherries, blueberries, Mediterranean herbs and warm spices. It’s medium-bodied, velvety and fruity with fine tannins and a delicious finish. A blend of 60% grenache, 30% syrah, 5% carignan and 5% mourvedre. From organically grown grapes. Drink now.
Wine Enthusiast, Anna-Christina Cabrales, 91 Points | Structured aromas of black raspberry, black olive and pomegranate open on the nose accented by violet blossom. The palate performs as a Côtes du Rhône blend should with balanced flavors that capture the spirit of the region. A tinge of leather adds to the finish. Pair with pork tenderloin, boiled peanuts and hanger steak.

Expert Reviews - Prior Vintage 2023
JamesSuckling.com by Stuart Pigott writes 91 Points | The smoke and black pepper notes of syrah are intertwined with the fleshiness and mellower personality of the grenache grape in a very convincing manner. Behind this is a solid base of supple tannins that has been expertly crafted. The generous red fruit and touches of blackberries and summer flowers give this a lot of appeal. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
The Wine Spectator by Kristen Bieler writes 88 Points | Smoke and earth underscore the generous notes of cherry and sweet, toasty oak in this plush, enjoyable red. A crowd-pleaser, with nice character and graphite energy. There's a snappy edge to the satisfying finish. Grenache, Syrah, Marselan and Carignan.
