Reviews and Ratings

L.J. Palmer WSET 3 rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

This wine is deep purple, dry, medium plus acidity, medium body yet high alcohol, and medium tannin. It is a blend of 40% Syrah, 33% Grenache, 17% mourvedre, and 10% Carignan from the Terrasses du Larzac in Languedoc-Roussillon. It has a pronounced aroma of black plum, raspberry, an earthy tang, herbal notes, black pepper, black olive, and is salty/smoky/ savoury and meaty. I believe I detected all the aromas on the palate; I would call it complex and evolving and very delicious. Paired with braised beef cooked and smothered in mushrooms with black pepper and basil. The earthiness of the mushroom and the herbal notes worked well with the wine as well as the beef. I would drink on its own, or with braised beef and mushrooms, or with a cheese of the area like Tomme aux 7 fleurs: cows cheese, made in Ardèche with mallow flowers, marigold flowers, cornflower flowers, safflower flowers, rose flowers, strawberry leaves and trigonella or a local tomme from Quebec or perhaps goats cheese.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
