With little decanting you get black berry fruit with cassis and spice on the nose in this Grenache dominated red (syrah makes up the remaining 20%).  The fruit and spice are present on the palate as well along with nice acidity to balance the firm tannins.  This wine is great for full flavored foods or squirreling away in your cellar for a few years, if you're into that sort of thing.
Oh yeah…..this is also a small production (6 hectares in Cotes du Rhone out of 35 ha estate)  organic wine for a fantastic price.
