The blend on this one is 58% Grenache, 32% Syrah, 3% Carignan, 3% Cinsault, 2% Mourvèdre, 2% Counoise.
On the nose I get the typical Grenache fruitiness but also a more rustic herbal note to. Less fruit forward than last years.
On the nose I get raspberry and other red fruits but also some minerality, herbs, and faint spices. The flavors are better integrated in this years version.
Overall I enjoyed this one as I found it to be a bit more rustic and not as fruit forward as last years. How is this wine $18?

This wine is absurdly good for the money.
