The 'La Cigalette' is a fantastic blend of 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 10% Carignan and 10% Mourvèdre. It opens up with lovely aromas of dark raspberries and plums, followed by crushed lavender, spices, white pepper, and even hints of chocolate begin to emerge with air. This possesses a remarkable smooth, velvety texture that finesses the palate all the way into the luscious finish. While this is already showing lots of character, it will ultimately be best after a few more years in bottle. (Best 2015-2022) - May, 2014 (JD)
