The 2019 Ventoux Artemia is a 75-25 blend of Syrah and Grenache, matured in equal portions of barriques, demi-muids and concrete tanks. From a high-elevation plateau of gravelly limestone, it's a more northern style of Syrah, with floral and herbal notes on the nose and hints of cracked pepper. Medium-bodied, it's fresh and zesty, yet with firm tannins and savory black olives on the long finish.
