2010 Awesome nose, notes of black olive, tobacco, smoke. Fresh on the palate - dark with great acidity. Begs for food.

2007. Beautiful blend, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Cinsault. Un-American, American. Evocative name, evocative label. Le Cigare Volant.

V2006. Dirty, funky and if the fruit wasn't so ripe I'd think it was N Rhone. Showing beautifully.

Raspberry, cherry, and red currant are met with Grahm’s signature savoriness of roasted meat, beef jerky and black olive tapenade. The sip reveals that the ‘11 Cigare is a festival of darkness. The savory aspects come forward in a rush. The forest floor, the olive, the spice - all are cloaked in a dark fruit setting. Black plums, currant and berries work hard to mesh with the wine's earthy character. The acidity is remarkable and the tannic structure is firm.
