Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Such great balance and flavour. Blended from 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah, this wine has aromas of blackberry, dark cherry and plum, along with hints of evergreen and warm spices. Full bodied on the palate, with medium tannins, bright acidity, and ripe, red and black berry notes. The finish is dry with notes of spice and some earthy hints. Enjoy with rich meats or charcuterie.
