". . . the 2014 Saint Chinian Les Schistes is an outstanding blend of equal parts Syrah and Grenache, from tiny yields, that spend 12 months in older demi-muids. Offering lots of spice, minerality, and garrigue, with a core of sweet black raspberry fruit, this beauty has medium to full-bodied richness, building tannin and plenty of texture. It’s a serious wine that speaks loudly of the schist soils of the appellation. It can be enjoyed today or cellared . . ." Wine Advocate #224, Apr 2016 |
