Decanter, 93 Points 

"These hand-harvested grapes grown on clay-limestone soils are destemmed and fermented in vats for over a year. The wine has a pure blueberry nose and palate, juicy and fresh with a little rosemary kick. Juicy, piercing acidity and a long, precise finish with polished but textural tannins makes this really refreshing, characterful and enlivening. A well balanced Rasteau." 

Wine Advocate, 90 Points 

"The full-bodied 2017 Rasteau Tradition spent two winters in tank before being bottled. A blend of 80% Grenache with 10% each Carignan and Mourvèdre, it showcases flamboyant notes of ripe Grenache, like peach and black cherries, framed by chewy (but ripe) tannins that turn more silky on the finish." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"An opulent wine with a depth of concentrated black fruit. The tannins are present but enjoyable as they are polished and integrated. Black fruits on the nose are echoed on the palate with a touch of licorice and spice through to a long, silky finish." 

Alcohol: 14.5%

Sustainably farmed.
