Critic's Review Wine Advocate, 87 points. From a 140+ acre estate near the well-known Cotes du Rhone village of Pont Saint Esprit emerges this juicy Cotes du Rhone, a blend of 50% Syrah, 40% Grenache, and 10% Mourvedre. Well-made, with loads of berry fruit and a heady, meaty, peppery nose with a hint of Provencal herbs, the wine is fresh, lively, and best drunk over the next 2 years.
My Thoughts For me, this wine didn't do it. It lacked complexity and overall spunk. It was "bitey". Berry fruit could be detected with hints of blackberry and red currant coming through. The nose was definitely peppery. This wine had strong aromas of spice and herb coming through. I think with another year to age, this wine would be wildly different, in a much better way.
This wine was not paired with any food.
