The grapes are manually harvested once each variety has reached phenological ripeness.  2023 is a fantastic Rhône vintage for reds, and this wine is no exception.   Well textured, ripe, full-bodied – delivering rich black fruits, mocha espresso and a subtle hint of smoke.

In 2022, a hot, dry season followed by timely August rain produced healthy, beautifully balanced fruit.
