Strikes of shale and salt lend spice and earthiness to ripe, concentrated flavors of plum preserves and black-cherry pie filling here. A blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre, it's a warming, full-bodied red with a plushness of texture and very fine, furry tannins on the finish. Ready now but should drink at peak through 2026.

Product Description:

"Deep garnet color, sparkling reflections. Numerous and persistent tears, beautiful richness in perspective. The nose is wild, secret. One perceives the contained power. With a light decanting, it then uninhibits itself for our greatest pleasure: the nose begins to open. On the palate a sensation of raspberry seeds, dried meat, a branch of roasted rosemary. The wine proves to be ripe but leaves a sensation of freshness that forces another glass... Serve at 16°C." -Winery
