Moving to the Rhone blends, the 2012 Cuvee Mirabelle is a blend of equal parts Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre that saw 26 months in barrel (I wasn’t able to get the % of new barrels on any of these wines). It exhibits lots of black cherry-like fruit to go with lots of floral and violet nuances. This gives way to a medium to full-bodied, pure, layered and downright sexy red that has no hard edges, fine tannin and a great finish. I suspect it will age similar to a top Chateauneuf du Pape and have 15 years or so of overall longevity.
