Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
This inky/ruby/purple-colored cuvee offers a new world re-imagining on the classic Provencal wine of Bandol. The Prophetess’ opulent bouquet of new saddle leather, cigar smoke, black tea, truffles, underbrush, and blackberry as well as cherry fruit. A full-bodied and profound wine with a penetrating intensity yet splendid freshness and vibrancy. It is a superb, earthy expression of Syrah and Mourvedre from the Central Coast of California.
