Professional Review: A blend of three Rhone varieties, dividing up into two red wines, 62% Mourvedre, 27% Carignan, and a white wine, 11% Viognier. This light body, easy drinking red wine has aromas of cedar, black pepper and dried cherries and other rebellious berry characteristics. The taste of this approachable wine is rich and smoky with a smooth finish. This is a wine made for a man, but perfect for a woman. The approachable qualities in this light bodied red make it an easy match for both people and dishes. Feature this wine with your next chicken dinner or cheeses from all over the world.

My Review: I liked this red. It smelled of spices, black pepper and dried cherries/berries under a smoky hood. It was on the heavier end in body, which I loved, and had a great, well balanced finish. Delicious on the mid palate. I had this wine at a tasting without a meal.
