36% Grenache, 33% Mourvèdre, 31% Syrah $90
19 months in a mix of Foudre, puncheon, and barrel, with 42% new French oak, lending a subtle polish to its ripe fruit core. On the nose, Syrah and Mourvèdre shine with brooding black fruit, smoky game, and wild underbrush, while Grenache lifts the bouquet with bright red fruit and floral notes. The palate is a masterclass in texture: Grenache opens with vibrant, loosely knit tannins, Mourvèdre adds fine-boned framing structure, and Syrah completes the arc with rich, velvety depth on the center of the palate. 15% whole cluster fermentation adds a fresh herbaceous edge and aromatic complexity. Each sip ripples with tension and grace. The wine’s well-integrated plush acidity creates a lush, mouth-coating feel, yet there’s plenty of freshness to carry it effortlessly into the future. Beneath its sumptuous richness lies a current of earth, spice, and savory nuance, harmonizing beautifully with the fruit.
