Winery 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 review:  Could not detect much from smelling this wine.  Very tannic and dry.  A possibly buttery aftertaste?  Bitter but well balanced.


I tasted this on its own without food.
