Given this consistent estate's track record for its Rasteau, I suspect the 2016 Rasteau is simply going through a rough phase. A 70-30 blend of Grenache and Syrah, it offers up aromas of pepper steak and mulberries. It's full-bodied and richly tannic, with a disjointed finish that's redolent of green peppercorns and chocolate. Give it a couple of years, and drink it over the following five.
