The 2010 GT-A exhibits a deep dark purple color. The wine is very forward with dense blackberry and cherry reduction, spice cake, tobacco, loam, sweet mesquite, and nicely integrated toasted oak, which sits on a full frame with polished tannins and a supple finish that really grips. This is a varietal that you don't see too often, so if you come across this you should jump all over it. Made from Aramon - Alicante HB, which is a censored varietal in Côtes du Rhône.
