Tasting Note
This vintage is the product of a selection of parcels of land that were planted twenty years ago with Grenache and Syrah. The nose is powerful without being heavy, with hints of red fruits, blackberries and wild grassland. The mouth is rich with deep notes of fruit and spice. The framework is refined and an elegant ambassador for our "fresh" terroir with a final note of elegant tannins for a vintage that is typically southern.
