Wine Enthusiast : 94 Points

(3/1/2024) There's a dark, intense, bold and yet still elegant focus to this eight-vineyard blend of 39% Grenache, 32% Syrah, 15% Mourvedre, 7% Cinsault and 7% Counoise. Aromas of boysenberry, blueberry, violet and lilac on the nose lead into a silky purple flower display on the palate, where generous berry flavors are framed by tense tannins.
