A great buy, this dense purple-colored Crianza offers up scents of blackberry liqueur, cassis, cherries, scorched earth, hot rocks, and asphalt. Medium-bodied with loads of fruit, a big texture as well as chewiness, and a surprisingly soft, heady finish, it is a blend of 40% Mourvedre, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 20% Syrah. It should drink well for several years, but its value is its exuberance and youthful freshness and robustness.Importer: Langdon Shiverick, Cleveland, OH; tel. (216) 861-6800
