Reviews
""Rich, glossy cassis and boysenberry flavors... full-bodied but freshly balanced red. Plush, silken...maintains a mineral briskness along with upright tannins..."" [+]
"This combines grenache, syrah and mourvèdre for a spicy and generously structured wine. The fruit flavours are juicy and nicely accented by earth, smoke and cedar notes."
