Tasting like a top Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the 2022 Audacious reveals red and black fruits, peppery spice, herbes de Provence, and loamy earth. Based on 35% Grenache, 31% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Carignan, and 16% Syrah, aged 22 months in 55% new French oak, it's medium to full-bodied, with a pure, layered, seamless mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a gorgeous finish. This is another riveting wine from this estate. Drink 2025-2037.
