EDITORS CHOICE
This wine always overdelivers, and this vintage's blend of 50% Syrah, 38% Grenache, 7% Mourvedre and 5% Counoise continues the tradition. Aromas of baked berry, cinnamon, mace and wood on the nose land with lively energy on the palate. The brisk plum and cinnamon flavors are undercut by clay, dust and fine tannins. A very versatile wine for the table.
