2022 AZIMUTH
44% Mourvèdre, 35% Grenache, 19% Syrah, 2% Mataro

2022 AZIMUTH

Senior Editor, Aaron Romano of Wine Spectator says, "This complex, engaging red displays a wild character, with chaparral, leather and white pepper details at the front complemented by a lilac note that unfolds on the palate alongside a fresh, elegantly textured core of black cherry and mulberry. Graphite weaves through, lending some structure, yet finishes with poise and elegance around refined tannins and hints of cigar box and cordial. Drink now through 2038" 95 points

Lisa Perrotti-Brown of The Wine Independent says, "The 2022 Azimuth is a blend of 44% Mourvèdre, 35% Grenache, 19% Syrah, and 2% Mataro. Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, it races out of the glass with ready to go notes of blackberries and black raspberries, giving way to hints of iris, Sichuan pepper, and tar. The full-bodied palate has a solid structure of ripe, grainy tannins and plenty of freshness to frame the muscular black fruits, finishing long and spicy." 94+ points

Blend: 44% Mourvèdre, 35% Grenache, 19% Syrah, 2% Mataro
Aging: 18 months in French oak puncheons (60% new, 40% once-used)
 

A captivating Rhône-style blend that balances bold intensity with refined elegance. The aromatics unfold in layers with tri-colored berries, black pepper, and tamarind mingled with sage and a touch of mocha. Earthy undertones of mushroom and tobacco add depth, while hints of bitter herbs provide intrigue.

On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied yet structured, with a lively acidity that keeps it vibrant. A fruit forward gives way to a round, supple mid-palate, while the finish lingers with spice and savoriness. The oak influence is well-integrated, adding finesse without overpowering the purity of the fruit.
