Ratings & Reviews

90 Points (Gold) - Beverage Testing Institute:

"Pink coral color. Aromas and flavors of cold soak/ cold fermentation, banana esters, raspberry taffy, white strawberry, and dried rose pedals with a velvety, lively, dry light-to-medium body and a tingling, interesting, medium-long finish manifesting notes of raspberry nougat, strawberry tops, dried garden herbs, and petrichor. The red berry essence of the Grenache really pops on the nose and palate with the Syrah and Mourvèdre lending structure and herbs making this a more complete wine fit for dinner pairings."

90 Points - Wine Enthusiast (2022 Vintage): 
"Fully ripe with a soft texture, the wine is smooth and appealing. It has a tangy character that gives texture and a fine bite at the end. Drink now. Organic." - Roger Voss (Sep 2023)
