Youthfully reticent, but warm and polished in feel, with a large core of cassis, raspberry and cherry puree notes lying in wait for now. Threads of red licorice, warm stone and singed mesquite and cedar emerge steadily through the lengthy finish as the fruit unwinds slowly. Concentrated yet precise. Sock this away in the cellar. Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Counoise. Best from 2023 through 2040. 6,250 cases made

Attractively perfumed nose, there's some cedar and sandalwood behind the fresh blackberries. A light-bodied, crisp style with good acidity. The tannins are fine and well-integrated.

Offers juicy, penetrating black raspberry, cherry-cola and candied violet flavors that show fine definition and are supported by a spine of juicy acidity.
