Tasted blind. Dark ruby. A bit dank on the nose. With acidity really jutting out and dominating a slightly mousy palate. Tart end. (JR)

A blend of Mourvèdre and Syrah, the 2014 Valiniere is a bit richer and darker-fruited than the Jadis but not otherwise more impressive. The fruit is plummy, the wine full-bodied on the palate, but it remains silky-textured and long. These were two outstanding offerings from the talented Didier Barral.
