Jeb Dunnuck
“A Grenache-dominated blend that reveals the very essence of the appellation’s four terroirs!”
“A beautiful nose of soft, crushed red fruits, spices, and garrigue. The palate is juicy, with notes of leather, black tea, and a very pronounced alcohol presence. The finish is marked by a hint of toasted oak. Round, heady, and dense, it will be truly superb once the oak has integrated.” (Jancis Robinson)
