(90) A blend of 80% Grenache Noir and 20% Syrah, the 2022 Megaphone Ventoux reveals aromas of crushed strawberries, dark berries, violets and spices. Moderately weighted, perfectly balanced and elegantly juicy, it’s fleshier than Pigeoulet and has a gourmand, fresh finish. Crafted with some whole bunches, it underwent a 25-day maceration, contributing to its structure and depth.
A well-crafted, balanced and lively red with aromas of red berries, dried herbs, stones and baking spices. It’s medium-to-full-bodied with fine tannins. Vivid and quite intense at the entry with a kick of spices bringing energy. Plenty of verve and wildness to the clear fruit character and a precise finish. Drink or hold. 92 pts
90-92. Coming from a single vineyard of limestone soils in the Ventoux, the 2022 Ventoux Megaphone reveals a healthy ruby hue to go with a beautiful bouquet of black raspberry, peppery garrigue, and hints of flowers and spice. This wonderfully textured, balanced, layered, and medium to full-bodied red has supple tannins and a great finish.
