Herbs and spices dominate the nose, and the wine has an intriguing blend of 9% Petite Sirah, 2% Grenache and 2% Mourvedre in it. Interesting and flavorful, though not entirely varietal in character. The mix of spices tastes a bit like a Provencal wine, and it’s delicious for the price. ——P.G.(3/1/2001)—— 89
