This blend of 60/40 Syrah and Grenache was aged in concrete vats and has a medium-high intensity nose that offers a complex and attractive mix of ripe dark berry, blackberry, plum, garrigue, black raspberry, stony mineral, pepper spice, and meaty aromas. It's medium+ to medium-full bodied on the dry, ripe palate with lovely dark berry, blackberry, garrigue, stony mineral, and spice flavours which are supported by fresh acidity and fine-grained, grippy tannins. The dark berry notes taper to smoky minerals on the very long, crisp, and savoury finish. Tasted Sept. 2023.

Southern France blend of 60℅ Syrah and 40℅ Grenache. Medium plus aromas and flavours of red currant, black fruits, dried herbs, tree bark, and menthol. Long finish with medium chalky tannins and medium acidity. That 15% abv shines through on the nose and palate. I would have this with some food if you skipped decanting. -March 2024
