Well-executed Rhône-style red blend capturing Southern French varietal essence. Deep ruby with purple highlights. Nose: attractive dark cherry, blackberry, dried herbs, violet and hint of black pepper. Palate: good concentration with layers of red/black fruits complemented by subtle spice and touch of olive. Medium to full-bodied with well-integrated tannins providing good structure and balanced acidity. Persistent finish with pleasant savory character adding complexity. [Rhone Roots 2025, Lumiere London]
