A vein of graphite runs from nose to finish in this fresh, juicy blend of Grenache (80%) and Syrah (20%). Blueberry and boysenberry flavors are lifted by tangs of salt and granite along with streaks of zesty cassis acidity. This snappy, thirst-quenching wine should drink well through 2025.

Bright Bing cherry and damson plum fruit races along, lined with light floral and garrigue notes. The fresh, focused finish brings you back for another sip. Drink now through 2022. 1,800 cases made, 700 cases imported.

An 80-20 blend of Grenache and Syrah, the 2019 Cotes du Rhone is a medium-bodied, very drinkable and red-fruited offering. Herb-inflected raspberries and strawberries, silky tannins and a gently astringent finish add up to a solid effort for near-term drinking.
