Exotic spicy, floral lift to the aromas of dark raspberry, boysenberry, violet, licorice and tree bark... Concentrated, sweet and pliant but firm, combining lovely Grenache dark cherry and smoky berry ripeness and creaminess with savory, soil-driven Mourvèdre tones. Richer and darker...more vinous as well... Finishes with distinctly firm-edged tannins.
This meaty, bloody wine gives up lots of ripe black cherry and blackberry fruit, is medium to full-bodied, and has a plump, sweetly fruited, rounded style and a good finish. It develops more sappy flower and gamey notes with time in the glass and has ultra-fine tannins.
