92 WA. "Blended of 69% Grenache, 9% Syrah and 22% Mourvèdre, the 2014 Cuvée Alis Estate Vineyard has a medium garnet color and a beautifully spicy nose of Chinese five spice and Sichuan pepper with a good core of cherry preserves, blueberries and dried plums, plus a waft of Provence herbs. Full-bodied, the palate is led by spice box and savory notes with velvety tannins and just enough freshness, finishing with great persistence." Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate #229, Feb 2017 |
