Notes of cranberry, raspberry, blackberry, and plum. This wine finally has the red cherry cough drop thing we love in the Southern Rhone. Red/black/earth/fruit - each component in balance. Tar, purple flower, white pepper, black olive, green Provence herbs, "the garrigue." Insanely interesting aromatically. If you keep going back, it will continue to change and open. Acid is fresh and firm. Tannins fall between medium and medium-plus. Both earth and fruit flavors cover the palate.
