Reviews

89/100
"Black plum and licorice notes merge with freshly cracked pepper and plenty of graphite in this hearty red. Rooibos tea and sage ash add detail, while brisk acidity washes through."
88-90/100
"Black fruits, peppery herbs, and some violet and garrigue notes all define the 2022 Rasteau Tradition. Medium-bodied, supple, and charming, with ripe tannins, it's impeccably made and delicious. Based on 60% Grenache, 25% Syrah, and 15% Mourvèdre, it will drink well for at least a decade."
