Very good value for the price. Light to medium bodied wine that drinks really well, soft with not much tannin. Tasted September 2013.

Black cherry and herbs with some dustiness and jamminess on the nose. It has lots of ripe fruit, is medium-bodied and a solid tannic structure.

A light and fruity Rhone. There is good balance here with the right elements: fruit, herbs and a slight dust of tannin, but a bit thin overall. Not bad though considering the price.

My bottle says 2013, and it tastes raw. It has been a long time since I have had wine this mediocre.

I love the southern Rhone, but I don't get this wine. The flavours are earthy and hollow, with hints of red fruit, but the flavours are not appetizing. Soft and approachable, with little structure. The finish is mercifully short. I don't think that this is a single bottle problem. Gets my vote as the worst wine I have had all year. Drink now, if you must. Tasted Nov 2013.

Did not check year, but anyway, this made it to the 'do not buy again' list......way way way better wines out there for the price!
