Very tannic and dry, especially for a 2007 Cabernet, not showing the fatness and opulence of that acclaimed vintage. There are some buried treasure blackberry and cassis flavors, but the wine is so t…

This is a light wine with red fruits, a stalky texture and cool, refreshing acidity. It's the style of wine that could well be better as a summer red, lightly chilled. The final texture shows crisp f…
Viognier represents 60% of the blend, unusual for the Southern Rhône, and it imparts white pepper and ginger to the bouquet, a broad, oily texture, and bold apricot flavor. The balance is 30% Clairet…
