Big and bold, full of powerful cherry and a bit of licorice. Well worth the value.

Smells of dried flowers, pressed between the pages of a new, pulp fiction.

The wine is a bit thin, a red broth of dark berry, seeds and stems.

Although still enjoyable, not the Rhône I was expecting. This one has some heat!

This was a fair wine when paired with food. I would say it is a good sipping wine. Good fruit but more of a savory wine with a smooth finish.

This has the flavor profile and long complex herby finish that I love in an excellent inexpensive Roussillon. Almost seems too good for a Tuesday night, but at $13, why not?

A little hot. I'd like to try this again after another year or two.

I don't understand why Robert Parker rated this wine 94 points. For such a wine that was only aged in concrete tank before. Not my taste of red wine.
