Professional Review: Very bright and exuberant, offering lots of violet, anise and blackberry aromas and flavors, with a good lacing of firm cherry pit keeping this honest through the finish.
My Review: This was one of the first blends I've tasted. It consisted of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre in different proportions with Grenache and Syrah being the dominant components. Since my nose is more attuned to fruits, all I could smell was black cherry and berry flavors. It tasted slightly acidic and not very viscous. I felt it was a bit sharper than necessary. I had this wine at a tasting without a meal.
