A blend of various varieties, this red has a rustic feeling in the gritty tannins and briary flavors of wild berries and Asian spices. But it’s not a simple wine. It’s actually quite satisying in the way it floods the mouth with flavor, then finishes in a dry way that welcomes grilled meats, hard cheeses, olive oil and tomato sauce.——S.H.(4/1/2008)—— 88
