Winery Notes:

This is the surreal allure of watching TV psychic Ms. Cleo croon at a swanky jazz club. Channeling lyrical prophecies in a hazy, leather-bedecked room. Blackberry bison burger embellishments. Honey-dipped steel vibrato. Black satin bass drum. Rose-petal switchblade scatting. Dark-roast Costa Rican coffee a cappella. And when you finally come to, she’s flipping over the Knight of Cups on TV, and you’ve been on the line for two hours, and the cards say you should stop falling asleep on the couch.

Based on 45% Mourvèdre, 42% Syrah, and 13% Grenache and aged in 80% new French oak for 24 months, the 2022 Casual Encounters is a beauty. Ripe red and black fruits, peppery garrigue, cedary spice, and herbes de Provence all emerge from this appealing effort. Round and medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has ripe, integrated tannins and a great finish. This will give many a top Châteauneuf-du-Pape a run for its money over the coming decade. Drink 2025-2035.
