Tasting notes
Inky ruby. Intensely perfumed cassis and cherry aromas open up with air and pick up suggestions of candied flowers, musky herbs and exotic spices. Stains the palate with sappy red/blue fruit, licorice and candied violet flavors that are lifted and sharpened by a smoky mineral element. At once concentrated and energetic in style, finishing with solid, spicy thrust, youthfully grippy tannins and persistent florality. 18% new French oak.

The 2018 Azimuth showed brilliantly, with rocking notes of blueberries, ripe strawberries, dried flowers, and spice all emerging from the glass. Deep purple-colored and full-bodied on the palate, it has ripe tannins, a terrific sense of purity, and a great finish. Based on 50% Mourvèdre, 30% Grenache, and 20% Syrah, it's going to keep for a solid decade.
