Ratings
90 points- "Rich and boisterous, the 2011 Elemental is a big, mouth filling wine. Dark red cherry, plum, spice and leather meld together in a supple, juicy Rhône blend to drink now and over the next few years. The 2011 is bold, forward and impeccably balanced." Antonio Galloni
Production Notes
A blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre that were all vinified individually, separated by both varietal as well as clone for a total of 7 different lots. The wine was blended after 22 months of barrel ageing in 100% Neutral French oak, followed by a minimum 6 months in bottle before release.
