"Inviting and vibrant, with ripe, winey fruit and licorice filigreed with savory herb details. Well-meshed, showing ripeness and integration, with a creamy texture scaffolded with firming iron mineral notes and polished tannins. A persistent version, with smoky incense wafting throughout. Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah."- Kristen Bieler from Wine Spectator
