Lovely glimpse into the estate, terroir, and style they produce. To me this is an awesome bargain and would definitely love to try with more bottle age

Board dinner. Really smooth. Blueberry, raspberry, vanilla, light licorice. Medium length finish. Very good.

Had at a Musar tasting at Terroir with Marc Hochar. Nice cab / cinsault / Grenache blend. Relatively smooth tannins with some funk.

This is a nice wine, though I tend to be a sucker for Musar. Blend that sees a touch of oak with decent bottle age. Evocative nose with plummy / figgy notes. Medium bodied with good fruit and medium acid / tannin. Nice.
