Robert Parker

(2015 Vintage Notes)

Syrah and Grenache blend harmoniously in this intense, flavorful, and complex wine, with hints of black fruit and tapenade. A red Luberon that retains a lovely, taut mineral structure as well as great tannic finesse... And it has excellent aging potential to boot!
