Earthy and savoury — what fruit there is is muted. Tastes tired for its age. 88. — a month ago

Cherry, herbs, dry chocolatey tannin. This was great with a steak camping in the Sawtooth mountains. 90! — 2 months ago

8.5

I would not guess French. A little too sweet — and something tropical in a clashing, untrue-to-style way. It’s fine on closeout, but no way at MSRP. 85. — 21 days ago

NOSE: lactic, yoghurt-y smell … toast. A little raspberry, maybe?

TASTE: like the nose, but good — a slightly lactic and toasty red fruit, the fruit more prominent. The champagne toasti-ness is pleasant and squeaks it into a weak 90.

Nothing special. Supposedly Syrah (according to these other reviews), but tastes more like Grenache to me — dunno why. 88. — a month ago
