from a new winery that's bottle-aging its wines prior to release, this is a blend of 80% grenache and 20% syrah. because the vineyards straddle multiple appellations, it carries a modest vin de pays de vaucluse label, but this is serious stuff. it's dense and creamy in texture, with a long, velvety finish and flavors of chocolate, black olive and dark plum. drink now–2020.
