Winemaker Notes
The complex, aromatic bouquet boasts rich aromas of red and dark fruits (blackberry, blackcurrant, cherry and redcurrant) blended with toasted notes supplied by the oak barrels.
Supple and well-balanced on the palate, complementing the intense aromas of the bouquet.

Wine Spectator
A concentrated red, with black cherry preserves, blackberry tart and olive flavors, covered with a dusting of cocoa powder. Shows an underlying minerality and good complexity, all backed by solid acidity. Ends with a lingering, spicy finish. Drink now through 2018.

Wine & Spirits
A blend of 50 percent syrah with 35 percent carignan and 15 percent mourvèdre, this is licorice-dark and chewy, with lots of spicy red berry fruit. It’s dense but not overly extracted, a juicy red that feels real. USA Wine West, Sausalito, CA
