Winemaker Notes
Dark purple/light black and crimson red hues. A plethora of chaparral, red berries, earth, spices, peppercorns, bramble berry and roasted meats. An amazing array of intoxicating flavors and aromas. The wine offers a wide array of compelling flavors with red cherries, currants, blueberries, blackberries, roasted meats and char. Surprisingly powerful, rich, full-bodied and concentrated.
Blend: 45% Grenache, 32% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre, 7% Counoise, 6% Cinsault

Rated 94 Points Vinous
The 2023 Red Blend M5 is fabulous. Bright and punchy, the 2023 impresses with its purity of fruit. Vibrant plum, blueberry, mint, lavender and spice abound. A wine with striking inner perfume and fine balance, the 2023 is just sublime.

Black cherries, blackberries, peppery herbs, smoked earth, and some earthy nuances all emerge from the 2023 M5 Red, a richer, mouth-filling, medium-bodied red based on 45% Grenache, 32% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre, and the rest Counoise and Cinsault. It has the pure, elegant style of the vintage and is nicely balanced.
