Deep in color the nose shows it’s depth with aromas of red and black fruits, leather, game and smoke. On the palate the wine shows those same red and black fruits along with complex flavors of pepper, licorice and smoked oak.
Serves up a pleasing mix of ripe, vibrant watermelon, supple black and red licorice, wild berry, grilled meat and sanguine flavors. Full-bodied, complex and layered, with lots of berry flavors on the finish. Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre and Counoise. Drink now through 2018. 4,900 cases made.” ~91 Points Wine Spectator~
