Critically Acclaimed Vintage
Awarded 92 points by Wine Spectator for its “saturated feel with cherry and plum notes,” complemented by floral violet and intriguing licorice undertones. Jeb Dunnuck praises its 90-point “peppery herb and violet aromas,” recommending cellaring until 2022 for optimal enjoyment.
Tasting Profile
Expect layered flavors of ripe raspberry, aromatic peony, and distinctive black pepper, finishing with a memorable salty minerality. The 15% alcohol content delivers warmth without overpowering the wine’s refined structure.
Cellar-Worthy Investment
This vintage showcases excellent texture and depth, with tannins that promise graceful evolution over 8-10 years. The Syrah-dominant character offers dark fruit intensity balanced by Grenache’s approachability – perfect for collectors seeking age-worthy Southern Rhône wines.
Food Pairing Versatility
Ideal with roasted lamb, herb-crusted beef, or mature cheeses. Its savory finish also complements mushroom-based dishes beautifully.
Note: Actual vintage may vary slightly from imagery. Store in cool, dark conditions for proper aging.
