'92 Points. The highest, coolest and arguably the most famous site for grenache in the Vale. Old, dry-grown bush vines. Thirst-slaking tannins bridge the attack and a chewy, ferrous finish, the framework in which blood plum, bergamot, kirsch, dried thyme and lilac carouse. I'd like a bit more stuffing to this; more mid-palate density. Yet there is plenty of energy suffused with nourishing tannins and drinkability in spades. Lots to like." - Ned Goodwin, Halliday Wine Companion

Grape: Grenache
On the nose, layered floral notes of fresh lavender, thyme and sage are complemented by notes of bright red berry and dark cherry fruits. The palate is elegant and complex with characters of cherry fruit, warm spice, supported by bright pomegranate. The finish is fine and lingering.
