(WA92-94 points) The 2013 Sommières La Draille is a blend of 45% Grenache, 35% Syrah and 20% Mourvèdre that will 18 months in 75% tank and 25% in 300-liter barrels. Getting a serious “Wow” in the nose, it offers gorgeous black and blue fruits, licorice, toasted spice and violet characteristics to go with stunning purity of fruit, full-bodied richness and a deep, layered profile that bodes well for ageing. It should have upwards of a decade of overall longevity. - Jeb Dunnuck
