This effort reveals a dark ruby/purple color, with extraordinary amounts of sweet, ripe Grenache dominating its personality. The 2000 exhibits more heady alcohol than the 2001, as well as glycerin in its hedonistic, gloriously fruity personality. A classic southern Rhone, it possesses notes of pepper, garrigue, and kirsch liqueur. Enjoy it over the next 2-3 years. Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel. (510) 524-1524
