A highly appealing southern blend heavy on the grenache as the warmer appellation of Rasteau tends to offer. Lovely...

A nice mid ruby colour and an exprsessive nose. Quite complex - cherry fruit with herb/garrigue, baking spice, anise, pepper, salami (mourvedre) and minerality. The palate is medium/full bodied with dusty tannins (still young, mourvedre) and excellent length. A sour late palate (mourvedre) followed by some alcohol burn keeps my rating just shy of 90. But very good value nonetheless. June 2015.
Soft, with flavours of stewed fruits and hints of herbs. Seems a bit muddled and lacking in focus. Lacks the structure and complexity of a Villages level wine. Enjoyable enough but failed to really impress me. For current consumption. Tasted Oct 2015.
