(a blend of syrah, grenache, cabernet sauvignon, cinsault and viognier) Deep red-ruby. Ripe aromas of plum, currant, licorice, truffle and meat. Sweet, rich and lush, with good energy to the flavors of red berries, spices and chocolate. Plenty of texture here. Finishes with ripe, buffered tannins. This is particularly impressive considering that there were 125 barrels of this juice. Winemaker Kent uses a lot of thick-staved 600-liter barrels for the grenache and blends in some syrah press wine to counteract the wine's oxidative tendency. This is fatter and richer than the nearly as impressive 2004: in their different styles, these two wines closely track the same vintages in Chateauneuf du Pape.
