Aromas of ripe plums, raspberry, anise, spice, smoke and earthy minerals fill the glass. Ultra-smooth and velvety on the palate working into to the soft finish which leaves sweet plum flavors lingering. Enjoyable, easy to drink and it's ready to go now. The blend consists of 70% grenache, 10% each of syrah and mourvedre and 8% cinsault. (Best 2012-2018) - September, 2012 (JD)
