A blend of 60% Syrah and 40% Grenache aged completely in tank. Quite intense on the nose with stony mineral and scorched earth aromas layered on top of the lovely blackberry, black pepper spice, licorice, and cassis notes. Lovely mineral driven aroma replays on the full-bodied palate with very good fruit concentration. Nicely textured with supple tannins that have some chalkiness. Acids are juicy and mouth-watering. Stony mineral notes linger on the long finish. Highly recommended. Tasted May/2019.

A little less wild and distinctive than the '15, again this vintage, this is a fine value. Black pepper infused blackberry fruit, silky tannin and nary a sign of wood. Easy multiple bottle purchase. Tasted July 2019.
