This impressively-colored, ruby/purple wine, made from 100% Grenache from old hillside vineyards, offers a textbook, roasted nut, smoke, kirsch, Provencal herb, and peppery-scented nose. Deep, with sweet fruit, medium to full body, and plenty of power, extract, and richness in the long finish, it is not dissimilar from the impressive Rasteaus made by the reigning genius of that village, Andre Romero.
