As always, best with a good bit of decanter time. I'm kinda loving everything that comes out of this vineyard, from lots of producers. As it opens, this is more deeply pitched than many of the D&R wines, with more earth and Mourvedre wildness to complement the bright red fruit, stone fruit and herbs. Yum.

Reinforces that these wines need time. In the bottle, or at least three hours in the decanter. Then, like a graceful Burgundy but with a Mourvedré fruit and funk profile.

Herbal, with black cherry, a little medicinal in a good way, very drinkable, but young.

Day 1: Very pure bright strawberry and cherry. Super fresh and weightless.
Day 2: Damp earth, smoke, and spice....same weightlessness.
Two wines for the price of one.
