Wild berry, cherry compote, earth, little pepper spice, rhubarb pie, medium tannins, slate mouthfeel, crushed rocks on the finish and nice acid. Great ribeye wine.

Disapponting short finish, and plain nose/palate, probably vintage related. 2013 vintage.

A little too minerally to rate higher. Bill McCleary, Surdyk’s: "Minerally undercurrent, with blackberry and red currant followed by tar and floral notes. Well-structured finish. Chapoutier uses biodynamic farming to grow his grapes. This is an excellent example of a southern Rhone red with Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre blended to a tasty finish. Soft on tannin with no harsh finish. A spiciness that layers over the fruit."
