Rich in concentration yet delightfully piercing in fruit quality, this Grenache-dominant red (accented by smaller proportions of Carignan, Cinsault, Syrah and Mourvèdre) consistently outperforms many Côtes du Rhône offerings. Black-plum and cassis flavors are fleshy and enveloping but nuanced by hints of granite, licorice and violet petals. This silky, enticing red is best enjoyed now to 2026. - 91pts Wine Enthusiast
