From the Archive
Red wine. Southern Rhône, France. 80% Grenache, 20% Mourvèdre. Biodynamic. An 80/20 blend of old-vine, Grenache and Mourvèdre, this wine exhibits deep aromatics of black and blue fruit, coffee, and smoke, all set against an intense mineral background. Exquisite on the palate, with an opulent texture, lovely mid-palate concentration, sweet tannin, and serious length on the finish.
