The 2020 Collioure Puig Ambeille is a blend of 70% Mourvèdre, 20% Grenache and 10% Carignan. Despite the hefty proportion of Mourvèdre, this cherry and stone fruit-scented effort is silky and round, full-bodied but soft, even cuddly. Charming, yet with ample depth, it should drink well for several more years.

Mainly Mourvèdre, the 2017 Collioure Puig Ambeille also includes 25% Grenache and 5% Syrah. Notes of cola-like spice and Mediterranean herbs lead the way, backed by ample amounts of dark berry fruit. Medium to full-bodied, it's a nicely complex and balanced red from a region that can sometimes yield wines that are too big and clumsy.

A deeper vibrant color, the 2016 Collioure Puig Ambeille is 70% Mourvèdre and 30% Grenache. Blueberries, ripe black cherries, leather, scorched earth and ample minerality all give way to a fresh, elegant, impeccably balanced red that shines more for its purity and complexity than overall power. Drink it through 2024.
