An inexhaustible reservoir of mineral elements, the Blue Clays offer a wine of great finesse, combining black and pulpy fruit, fine and delicate tannins and great minerality.
Good fresh fruit, this is smooth and approachable. Nice ripeness of fruit and tannin here, teamed with quite forthright acidity. More classically Rasteau than many this year, this has ample fruit and muscle.

This red's attractive violet, black currant and plum flavors show a liberal dusting of black pepper.
