A very nice Rhône blend. A clear cranberry, light mineral note with light, low acidity tannins. Great with cheese and appetizers. — 5 months ago

Thought all gone. Interesting take of Grenache and Syrah from Ventoux with a solid medium bodied still robust palate. Unfortunately it kinda overpowered the mixed menu of various eats. — 8 months ago

Nice balance of acidity and fruit for a 16 year old wine. 2010. In fact it’s pretty fantastic. A bit of stewed apricots d hints of green apple. The tertiary elements are charming as heck. Go team! — a year ago

Just fantastic — particularly at $14. This is an elevated southern French bistro wine: inky, deep rich aromas of red & black fruit, liqueur like, little smoky, little meaty, white pepper, licorice, earthy, floral — spectacular nose. Great extraction on mid-palate, finely grained tannins, oh so easy drinking w/nose confirmed with decadent flavors leading to a fine finish. Over performs as a provincial Ventoux wine - will go buy a half dozen bottles. — 3 years ago

Wine flight at Sunday Vinyl. So great to see @Bobby Stuckey and the crew. And nothing like a Macintosh set up for sound. “It is so choice. If you ever have the means I highly recommend it.” — 4 years ago

[60% Grenache, 40% Syrah] Rich candied redfruits, this wine has settled down since earlier bottles I’ve reported on (which seemed hot and disjointed), it’s 14% ABV, but no longer tastes hot, long finish, quite a fine Ventoux!! — 4 months ago

Clear, deep ruby in color; on the nose, it's clean with pronounced primary and secondary aromas of blackberries, black cherries, violets, and baking spices; on the palate, it's dry with high acidity, high tannins, high alcohol, full body, and pronounced primary and secondary flavors of raspberries, blueberries, and fresh asphalt with a long finish. Overall, this wine is complex and intense. I rate this wine as very good. — 6 months ago

Casey loved it even though it doesn’t have his ideal fruit. More on the fruity and sweet side. I did not try it but C thinks I would love it. This can age - about five years at least. — 6 months ago

Terra orca is right! The earth is coming at me and I’m seeing red. But not the red of fury, the red of passion, the red of pleasure, and the red of desire. One sip of this and desire for the pleasure of passion from this wine endures. The palate parties with minerals. — 5 years ago
