Very fruit-forward and full bodied with some decent tannins - overall a nice, juicy wine that is very easy drinking and full of flavor.

To me, it’s the Grenache that really comes through in this gsm blend. Very accessible, rich red fruit and earthy core. In a good place right now.

Tight, dark fruited nose. Big chunky and granular tannins. Sweet black fruit on finish

Absolutely delicious blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah :) could even be kept for another couple of years. I look forward to trying other wines from this vineyard

Reminds me of some of the Booker wines. Solid wine with a bit of a tangy finish. May mellow with air and time.
