winemaker's notes:
This wine is a fine, deep, dark-red color in the glass. On the nose it is spicy, with soft, ripe fruit aromas.
On the palate there are is round tannins, complexity and power. A rich, full-bodied, smooth wine, with touches of ripe plums, stone fruit and soft fruit. This is a rich wine, with all in harmony and balance.
Cellaring: Can be laid down for approximately 15 years. Suggestions for serving: Red meat, game birds and cheese
A blend of 50% Old Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah and others from at least approximately 45 year-old vines.
