A blend of Shiraz, Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon, Mourvedre and even a tiny bit of Muscadelle, this is perfumed and floral on the nose, but it also boasts scents of cinnamon, coffee, chocolate and earth. It’s lush and dense on the palate, rich and creamy in weight and texture, ending with hints of vanilla and spice. Approachable now, but should drink well for up to 10 years.——J.C.(11/1/2007)—— 91
