Expert Reviews

90 Points | International Wine Cellar , July 2010

($24; 30% each of grenache, cinsault and mourvedre and 10% clairette) Light pink. Redcurrant, orange zest, white flowers and a hint of dusty minerals on the highly perfumed nose. Juicy, vibrant and mineral-driven, with very good spicy intensity to the flavors of red berries and candied orange peel. Smooth and expansive on the end, with the orange and mineral notes echoing.
