winemaker's notes:
What a delicious value! A blend of 50% Grenache, 25% Mourvedre, and 25% Syrah from 35 year old vines, aged for a year in oak casks. A deep purple color in the glass, with warm berry, plum and spice aromas. Full-bodied and elegant, with mellow tannins, warmth and aromatic intensity. You can age this wine successfully for up to 8 years. Delicoius with meat, game, spicy salami, and mature cheeses.

Everything about this wine is beautiful and complex, from its crimson red color to its lively fruit and spice. On one end it’s supple and smooth, and on the other it’s hot and spicy. Over a 24 hour period this one stayed intact on the eye, on the nose, and on the palette. Highly recommended.
Sight - Crimson center to ruby red ridge with tight arches
Nose - Ripe red fruit - Strawberry, raspberry, Spice, black pepper
Taste - Ripe up front fruit, strawberry, raspberry, spicy center, black pepper, nice tannins that add a touch of astringency. Very balanced. Long warm, firm finish.
Attack - Intense
Middle - Long
Finish - Strong
Overall - 9.9
