Reviews and Ratings

Gabriel Israel rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

89-90; I would have rated it higher if it was under $20. dont get me wrong, it is a Very nice wine, but somehow I was expecting just a little bit more. This is medium to full body South Rhone valley wine with the right well integrated falfors of black current, black pepper, wild mushrooms and hints of mint/herbs. Decant it for 30+ min before consumption.
