Named "Mistral" in reference to the wind that crosses the Rhône valley, this vintage is characterized by a subtle blend of spices, freshness, and fruity notes. The bouquet reveals aromas of cherries, white pepper, and red hibiscus flowers, enlivening the taster's palate. On the palate, the wine proves particularly approachable, offering pleasant juiciness and appreciable freshness. The flavors evoke blood oranges, rose hips, and cloves.
Blend: 40% Grenache, 40% Syrah, 10% Carignan, 10% Vaccarese
91 James Suckling Generous black-cherry and wild-blackberry fruit is wrapped around gentle tannins on the medium-bodied palate. Good length, showing plenty of licorice and a touch of tar in the long finish. Very straight with excellent freshness. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
