The 2021 Oublié from this great estate checks in as a blend of 41% Grenache, 31% Syrah, 27% Mourvèdre, and a splash of Tannat. This straight-up seamless beauty offers a killer array of darker berry fruits, peppery herbs, licorice, and underbrush to go with a medium to full-bodied, beautifully layered, seamless style on the palate that’s hard to resist. The balance is spot on, and it has fine tannins as well as a great finish. I'd be thrilled to drink a bottle any time over the coming 7-8 years and certainly wouldn't be surprised to see it evolve longer.

The 2021 Oublié is a blend of 41% Grenache, 31% Syrah, 27% Mourvèdre and 1% Tannat matured for 18 months in 50% new French oak. It has layered aromas of maraschino cherry, blueberry, aniseed, thyme and juniper, continually unfurling as it spends time in the glass. The medium-bodied palate boasts pure, fragrant fruit nestled into an ethereal frame of clay-textured tannins and fireworks of fresh acidity, and it has a very long finish laced with alluring botanical undertones. This is dangerously easy to drink without sacrificing complexity! 2,000 cases were made.

Forest berries, cherries, plums, dried herbs and peppercorns on the nose, following through to a medium body with fine tannins. Textured palate, with layers of ripe fruit mingling with spices and herbs. Structured and well-driven with a generous finish. 41% grenache, 31% syrah, 27% mourvedre and 1% tannat. Drink or hold.
