Product Overview
94 Points - Wine Enthusiast
"The nose on this blend of 47% Mourvèdre, 36% Syrah, 14% Grenache and 3% Carignan is extremely intense and dense yet utterly fascinating, showing blackberry, fig and chocolate-syrup aromas. The unctuous palate is toasty and rich, full of nutmeg, clove and mace spices that are balanced by luxuriously creamy tannins and a persistent acidity." -MK, 7/1/24

"The 2022 Casual Encounters is dark and brooding in the glass, as notes of mocha and balsamic spice combine with dried rosemary. Cool-toned and surprisingly lifted on the palate, it offers crisp red berry fruit and mineral tones that slowly drench the palate with primary concentration. The finish is staining and long, with a web of fine tannins that pinch at the cheeks, subtly offset by a hint of sour citrus." -EG, Jun/2025
