Review:"A blend of 55% Merlot, 22% Syrah, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Mourvedre, 2% Cabernet Franc and 2% Grenache. Wonderful berry fruit on the nose with integrated oak notes woven throughout. On the palate black cherry and blackberries mingle with spices and oak notes. A broad and rich wine with a long elegant finish."
My Review: This wine smelled like cherry pie and oak. The taste of the wine was surprisingly dry and had hints of chocolate flavor. The tannins in the wine were not overwhelming. I did not try this wine with food.
