(75% grenache, 15% syrah and 5% each of cinsault and mourvedre): Vivid ruby. Smoke-accented aromas of black raspberry and potpourri, with slow-building spiciness. Juicy and focused, offering intense red and dark berry flavors lifted by tangy acidity. Richer and darker in profile on the finish, which shows impressive energy and clarity. (2/ 2012)
