50% Syrah/25% Grenache/25% Mourvedre
Saturated ruby. Deeply perfumed aromas of ripe blue fruits, exotic spices and incense pick up a smoky mineral flourish with air. Palate-staining, appealingly sweet boysenberry, cherry-vanilla and spicecake flavors are complemented by an exotic floral pastille quality and a hint of spiciness. Rich but lively, showing impressive finishing clarity, dark-berry-driven persistence and smooth tannins that build slowly.
