Community Tasting Notes (average 86.1 pts. and median of 86 pts. in 56 notes)

Mom and dad's 27 anniversary at Iris. Very smooth. Worked well with steak and my rich buttery troat. Definetly not with light food but great with hearty and buttery.

despite rpw rating of 89, finding it hard to like this wine. soft, weak flavor. not a strong fruit flavor. finish seems weak. ok but wouldn't buy again. too young?

so spicy. so peppery. it may improve in a couple years with some aging but it's pretty much going to be a marinade next time I barbecue.

RP 89 spicy upfront typical rhone taste with berries spice olive, and herbs. better after day 2

10.79 whole foods. Balanced. Good tannins. A bit smoky with bright finish.

red rose decent mouthfeel not real long finish good value
