Wonderfully spicy and complex on the nose, with scents of smoke, spice, mulled blackberries and a hint of caramel. This is round and full in the mouth without being heavy, with spice-driven flavors but also dark fruit flavors that finish firm, crisp and long. A blend of 60% Syrah, 30% Grenache and 5% each Mourvedre and Viognier.——J.C.(7/1/2007)—— 90
