RATINGS

92Vinous / IWC

Explosive cherry and raspberry liqueur scents are complicated by suggestions of incense, peppery spices and candied flowers. Sappy and broad on the palate, offering lush red and dark berry liqueur flavors and a spicy, energizing suggestion of white pepper. Shows impressive depth of berry flavor and finishes with smooth, harmonious tannins and strong, spicy persistence.

90Wine Spectator

Compact and ripe, with burly tannins. Aromas of blackberry and smoky beef open to tightly bound flavors of currant, licorice and espresso.

TYPE

Red Wine, Grenache

One of the most popular red varieties planted, it ripens late and prefers hot dry climates. It probably originated in Spain, where it is still widely grown. Grenache is best known for its use in Southern Rhone wines, including those of Chateauneuf-du-Pape.
