"Channels the sunny Southern Rhône, with baked cherry, fresh plum, and potpourri encased in chalky mineral, black tea, and smoke accents. It shows nice earthiness, with singed alder and forest floor notes adding depth, while silky tannins line the medium-length finish. Grenache and Syrah. Drink now through 2028. 800 cases made, 300 cases imported.—K.B"

"A seductive, overt style with ripe cherry and sappy red licorice at the forefront, backed up by smoked applewood and iron shavings. Supple on the palate, with cashmere-like tannins giving nice structure through the smoky, silky finish. Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. Drink now through 2032. 10,000 cases made, 3,500 cases imported.—K.B."
