"Coming all from Red Mountain and a blend of 53% Grenache, 22% Mourvedre, 14% Counoise and the rest Syrah, the 2019 The Ramparts reveals a ruby/plum hue to go with a great nose of kirsch and assorted spiced red fruits that are supported by notions of white pepper, sandalwood, and dried herbs. Sweetly fruited, medium to full-bodied, beautifully balanced, and textured on the palate, it's another impeccably made red from this team that has tons of character as well as up-front appeal. Drink it at any time over the coming 7-8 years."

"The 2020 The Ramparts checks in as 55% Grenache, 32% Mourvedre and the rest Counoise that was destemmed and brought up in 29% new French oak. Medium ruby-hued, with a subtle nose of ripe black cherries, dried herbs, pepper, and a touch of loamy earth, this carries to a to full-bodied, round, supple, forward, undeniably delicious red blend to enjoy over the coming 7-8 years."
