An elegant, lighter style -- partly a reflection of the leaner vintage -- packed with impressive energy and complexity. Rose petal, white pepper and incense smoke notes infuse red berry flavors, all powered by a bright beam of acidity. Fine-grained tannins show polish and appeal through the refined, alluring finish, with graphite etchings. Grenache and Mourvèdre. Drink now through 2040. —K.B.
I love the ripe red plum aroma of this generous and polished 2021. Stacks of fine tannins give it a very sensuous texture that makes it difficult to say no. Very long, velvety finish with excellent spicy complexity. From grenache growing on galet cobblestone soil and a small amount of mourvedre grown on sand that are fermented separately. Drink or hold.
